"A Syrian instigated by Muawiyah asked Imam Hasan (a.s) amidst a crowd, 'What is the difference between faith and certainty?'...Imam Hasan (a.s) replied, 'There is a distance of four fingers between faith and certainty.' 'How is it so?' asked the Syrian. Imam (a.s) explained, 'What you hear (by your ears) is faith, and what you see (by your eyes) is certainty.'"
"This man further asked, 'What are those ten things that are harder than each other?' Imam Hasan (a.s) said, 'Allah has made stone hard and made iron harder than it; because it breaks the stone and fire is stronger than iron because it melts the iron and water is more powerful than fire because it extinguishes the fire and the cloud is more powerful because it has control over water; and wind is more powerful than the cloud because it moves the cloud and more powerful than wind is the angel who controls it and more powerful than this angel is the angel of death who would capture his soul. And death is more powerful than the angel of death that he himself would be subjected to death. More powerful than death is the command of God Almighty, as by this death arrives and is warded off.”'
"'A person named Abdul Ghaffar Nasrani once posed the following questions to Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s):
1. Who is a true Muslim?
Imam replied, “One from whose tongue the Muslims are safe.'"
"Wahidi in his Tafsir has related from Ibn Abbas that Ali (a.s) had four dirhams and nothing beyond that. He gave in charity a dirham at night and a dirham during the day. Another one he gave secretly and one openly. Then, the Almighty Allah revealed the following verse:
(As for) those who spend their property by night and by day, secretly and openly (Surah Baqarah 2:274)."
"After that fresh and good quality dates arrived. We also ate those. At last, a person said, “On the Day of Judgment, you all would have to give the account of the fine things you have consumed here.” The Imam said, “Allah is much Greater, Higher and More Self-Sufficient than this; that He should take account of what you have eaten.” They said, “But Allah Himself says:
Then, on that day, you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons. (Surah Takathur 102:8)
The Imam said, “The bounty mentioned in this verse denotes love for Ahl ul-Bayt. That is, you would be questioned on Judgment Day how far you have valued that bounty and of how you behaved with them. See, the same bounty is mentioned at another place:
This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you…(Surah Maidah 5:3)."
