"The strongest people are the ones who stay kind after being hurt."

I have a question to desi Shia
I saw a video of a lady saying that before she’d travel her mom would “tie imam-e-zaman on her wrist” and I didn’t understand what that means.
Can someone explain that please?

Thanks 🙏🏼

Imam Musa Ibn Jafar (Al-Kadhim) [a] said

Ishaq bin Ammar Sairfi asked Imam Musa Kazim (a.s.), Please tell me about those two persons. I have heard a lot of traditions about them from your father. O Ishaq! The first one is like the calf and second like Samiri. Ishaq requested to tell some more things. Imam said, I swear by Allah! Some men made people Jews, Christians and Magians and Allah will not forgive them. Ishaq requested the Imam to continue telling about them. Imam continued, They are three in number. Allah will not have mercy on them. They will not be purified and will face a painful chastisement. Ishaq asked, May I be sacrificed for you, who are they? Imam (a.s.) replied, First is one who claims to be an Imam appointed by someone other than Allah. Second is one who taunts an Imam appointed by Allah. Third is the person who thinks that they are related to Islam. Ishaq said, May I be sacrificed for you, please narrate about them in detail. Imam (a.s.) replied, Such a person will not hesitate to delete a clear verse of Quran or deny the prophethood of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) or testify that there is no lord in the heavens or elevate the status of a person more than Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.). Ishaq said, May I be sacrificed for you, please tell me something more. Imam (a.s.) said, O Ishaq! There is a valley of Hell called Saqar. It hasn't taken a breath since the time Allah created it. If Allah had permitted it to take in the breath equal to the tip of a needle, it would have sucked all the people of earth with it and burnt them to ashes. The people of Hell seek refuge from its extreme heat, stink, filth and chastisement, which Allah has prepared for those who deserve Hell. There is a mountain inside it. All the residents of this mountain seek refuge from the extreme heat, stink, filth and chastisement of it, which Allah has prepared for them. Surely there is a ravine in this mountain. All the residents of this mountain seek refuge from the extreme heat, stink, filth and chastisement of this, which Allah has prepared for its residents. There is a well in that ravine and all the residents of this ravine seek refuge from the extreme heat, stink, filth and chastisement of this well, which is prepared by Allah for its residents. There is a serpent in that well. The residents of this well seek refuge from the filth, stink and poison of this serpent, which is made for the residents by Allah. There are seven boxes inside this serpent, out of which five are concerned with past Ummahs and two are related to this Ummah. Ishaq asked, May I be sacrificed for you, who are those five among the past and two in the present? Imam (a.s.) replied, As far as the past five are concerned, they are Qabeel; for he murdered his brother Habeel, Nimrod for he fought with Ibrahim (a.s.) regarding the Lord and said that he gives life and death, Firon; for he said that he was the supreme lord to his subjects, Yahuda; for he made a group of people Jew and Paul, who made some people Christians and from this Ummah are the two desert Arabs (infidels).

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: “Reason is the friend of the believer, knowledge is his minister, patience is the commander of his army, and action is his guardian.” [Ghurar al-Hikam: 2092]

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: “Reason is a tree whose root is piety, its branch is modesty, and its fruit is righteousness. Piety leads to three qualities: understanding of religion, detachment from worldly desires, and devotion to Allah Almighty. Modesty leads to three qualities: certainty, good character, and…” Humility and piety lead to three qualities: truthfulness of speech, hastening to do good, and avoiding doubtful matters.

Imam Kadhim (peace be upon him) said: Luqman said to his son: “My son, this world is a deep sea in which many have drowned. Let your ship in it be the fear of Allah, its cargo faith, its sail reliance on Him, its captain reason, its guide knowledge, and its rudder patience.”

[Kafi, Vol. 1, p. 16, Hadith 12]

The tongue is the mirror of the heart

Imam al-Baqir (as) said: Beware of becoming lazy and bored,
for they open the door to all evils;
one who is lazy does not fulfill any rights,
and one who is bored does not endure the truth.
