Pearl of Wisdom
in his intimate supplication, my God, I have no way to guard myself from sin except through Your protection, and no way to attain good deeds except by Your will. So how can I ever benefit from that which You have preceded with Your will?! And how can I ever guard myself from sins as long as Your protection does not cover me therein.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] al-Balad al-Amin, p. 315
