Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “If a believer only knew what the reward for perseverance in the face of calamities is, he would always wish to be torn into pieces.”

Defend your brother’s name
Sheikh Mufid said: Abu Hasan Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Jurjurai reported to me from Ishaq b. Abdus, who reported from Muhammad b. Abdillah b. Sulaiman alHadhrami, who reported from Muhammad b. Ismail al-Ahmasi, who reported from Al-Maharibi, from Ibn Abi Laila, from al-Hakam b. Utaibah from Ibn Abu al-Darda’, from his father who said:
A man defamed and slandered another man in presence of the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, so a person from the people present, refuted him. The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, said: “Whoever defends the honor of his brother, that act will shield him from hellfire.”
Al-Amaali by Sheikh Mufid
Imam Kazem (as) said “Comprehend and understand the religion of Allah, for jurisprudence is the key to vision, the completion of worship and the cause of reaching the lofty grades and magnanimous stations in this world and hereafter. The superiority and magnanimity of jurisprudent over the adorer and worshiper is like that of the superiority of sun to the stars. And Allah does not get pleased with any practice of that person who does not achieve the comprehension and understanding of his religion.”
