Pearl of Wisdom
'A dead person will be questioned about five things: his prayer, his alms-tax (zakat), his obligatory pilgrimage (Hajj), his fasting, and his acceptance of our divine guardianship (wilaya), the Ahl al-Bayt. Our guardianship will address the other four from inside the grave, 'Any deficiency that is in you, I will fill.'
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as] al-Kafi, v. 3, p. 241, no. 15
