In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful
11- Imam al-Rida (peace be upon him) in a narration said:
At anytime servants commit a new sin that he has not been doing, Allah will create an unknown problem to them. (Usul al-Kafi volume: 3, page: 377).
12- He (peace be upon him) said:
One possessing potentiality should extend that to his family. (Tuhfal Uqul: 442).
13- He (peace be upon him) said:
Indeed Allah is in annoyance with unnecessary shouting, misusing wealth and too much unnecessary question.
14- A man from the inhabitant of Balakh said:
I was with Imam Rida (peace be upon him) in his journey to Khurasan, one day he calls for dinning, then his royalties gathered together from Sudan and other places.
I said: may my soul be sacrifice for you; is it not better to give different dinning for those people? He said: stop that, definitely Allah the most High is one, the mother is one and the father is one (so there is no difference) indeed the reward shall be base on everyone’s deed. (Al-Kafi volume: 8, page: 230; al-Hayyat volume: 1, page: 249).
15- He (peace be upon him) said:
“Looking at our progeny is regarded as worship.
Then it was said to him: O’ the son of the Messenger of Allah, is glancing at the Imams from you an act of worship or to the entire progeny of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny)? He said: rather glancing to the entire progeny of the Prophet so far he has not left his ways and has not got stained with sins”.
16- He (peace be upon him) said:
Whoever like a sinner is a sinner; whoever like an obedient person is an obedient person; whoever assists an oppressor is an oppressor, and whoever abandoned an oppressor is a Just person. Indeed there is no relation between Allah and anyone and one cannot attain allegiance to Allah except with obedience.
17- He (peace be upon him) said:
An openhanded man eats from people’s food so that people eat from his food but a miser doesn’t eat from people’s food so that people would not eat from his food. (Bihar al-Anwar volume: 71, page: 352, the 8th hadith).  
18- He (peace be upon him) said:
Dignify your elders and join the relationship with your relatives, indeed nothing can be use in joining the relations better that to stop affliction from them.
19- He (peace be upon him) was asked:
Can there be the existence of the earth without Imam on it?
He (peace be upon him) said: never because it will sink its inhabitant. (Uyunul Akhbar Rida volume: 1, page: 246)
20- He (peace be upon him)) said:
Whoever seek for forgiveness with his tongue and there is no regret in his mind has indeed played with his self.
Whoever requested for success from Allah and did not strive has indeed played with his self.
Whoever requested for Paradise from Allah and don’t have patient in afflictions has played with his self.
Whoever remembers death and did not prepare for it has played with his self.
Whoever remembers Allah and did not wish to meet with Him has played with his self. (Bihar al-Anwar volume: 78, page: 356).
