Pearl of Wisdom
with regards to the creation of the human in the womb said, 'When four months are completed, Allah sends two creative angels...., and they ask, ?O Lord, shall it be wretched or prosperous?' Again, they are commanded, and they then ask, ?O Lord, what is its due date of death, its sustenance, and all other matters relating to its state [and he listed some of them]-?' And they then go about writing a covenant between his eyes.'
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as] al-Kafi, v. 6, p. 13, no. 3

Sermon 53 On the swearing of allegiance
They leapt upon me as the camels leap upon each other on their arrival for drinking water, having been let loose after unfastening of their four legs till I thought they would either kill me or kill one another in front of me. I thought over this matter in and out to the extent that it prevented me from sleeping. But I found no way except to fight them or else to reject whatever has been brought by Muhammad (PBUHAHP). I found that to face war was easier for me than to face the retribution, and the hardships of this world were easier than the hardships of the next world.
