في ضرورة الإمامة و وصف من عرفهم
لَا تَخْلُو الْأَرْضُ مِنْ قَائِمٍ لِلَّهِ بِحُجَجِهِ إِمَّا ظَاهِراً مَشْهُوراً وَإِمَّا بَاطِناً مَغْمُوراً لِئَلَّا تَبْطُلَ حُجَجُ اللَّهِ وَبَيِّنَاتُهُ
The world is never devoid of an establisher of the proof of Allah, either [as an] apparent and known [person] or [as a] hidden and unknown [person], so that the proof of Allah and His message does not become void

أَسْعَدُ النَّاسِ مَنْ عَرَفَ فَضْلَنَا وَتَقَرَّبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِنَا وَأَخْلَصَ حُبَّنَا وَعَمِلَ بِمَا إِلَيْهِ نَدَبْنَا وَانْتَهَى عَمَّا عَنْهُ نَهَيْنَا فَذَاكَ مِنَّا وَهُوَ فِي دَارِ الْمُقَامَةِ مَعَنَا
The most fortunate of all people is one who knows our merits, seeks nearness to Allah through us, is sincere in his love for us, acts on that which we have entrusted to him and keeps away from that which we have forbidden, for this person is from us and he will be with us in the Eternal Abode

إِنَّمَا الْأَئِمَّةُ قُوَّامُ اللَّهِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَعُرَفَاؤُهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ عَرَفَهُمْ وَعَرَفُوهُ وَلَا يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَنْكَرَهُمْ وَأَنْكَرُوهُ
Certainly the Imams are the [only] vicegerents of Allah over His creation and the ones who explain His servants about Him; and none will enter Paradise except the one who recognizes them and is recognized by them and none will enter the hellfire except the one who rejects them and is rejected by them

مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَهُوَ عَلَى مَعْرِفَةِ حَقِّ رَبِّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَحَقِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ مَاتَ شَهِيداً وَوَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَاسْتَوْجَبَ ثَوَابَ مَا نَوَى مِنْ صَالِحِ عَمَلِهِ وَقَامَتْ نِيَّتُهُ مَقَامَ إِصْلَاتِهِ سَيْفَهُ فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَجَلًا لَا يَعْدُوهُ
One who dies on his bed while he is cognizant of the rights of his Lord, His Prophet and the right of his household, has died a martyr and his reward rests with Allah, the GlorifiedHe is also eligible for the recompense of the good acts he intended to do, as his intention takes the place of drawing his sword [in battle]Indeed, for everything there is a [limited] term that it cannot go beyond
