Pearl of Wisdom
replied to a man who said, 'Sit down so we can debate about religion' ?O you, I am aware of my religion, and my path is clear for me. So, if you are ignorant about your religion then go and seek it. What do I have to do with disputation?! Indeed the devil tempts a person and calls him, saying, 'Debate with people regarding their religion so that they do not think of you as incapable and ignorant.?
Imam Hussain ibn Ali al-Shahid [as] Ibid. v. 2, p. 135, no. 32

Sermon 239 Exhorting his men to jihad and asking them to refrain from seeking ease
Allah seeks you to thank Him and assigns to you His affairs. He has allowed time in the limited field (of life) so that you may vie with each other in seeking the reward (of Paradise). Therefore, tight up your girdles and wrap up the skirts. High courage and dinners do not go together. Sleep causes weakness in the big affairs of the day and (its) darkness obliterates the memories of courage.
