Sa’d ibn Khalaf narrated that Imam Kazim (a.s) said: “Salat is as sweet smelling as a freshly cut branch of a green tree when they are performed on time. One picks from a tree when it is fresh, pure and good smelling. Therefore I advise you to perform your prayers on time.” Mishkāt al-anwār fī ghurar al-akhbār h. 345
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There is a means of comfort for everything. The birds get their rest from being with other birds. Likewise believers (momin) rest when they associate with other believers.” ( Mishkāt al-anwār fī ghurar al-akhbār h. #492).
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘No animal, including a bird or any other kind, is killed unjustly except that it will raise a complaint against him [the killer] on the Day of Resurrection. (Mizan al-Hikmah h. # 206)
Abu Ja’far – Imam Al-Baqir (a.s.) said the following: “A believer (momin) is stronger than a mountain. A mountain loses its parts but no loss takes place in the religion of a believer (momin).” (Al-Kafi, Vol 2, h. 37)
