  فَتَلَقَّىٰٓ ءَادَمُ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ كَلِمَٰتٍۢ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

  Al-Kafi · Book 3, Hadith 15

  When asked, 'How did you recognize your Lord?' he said: 'By how He revealed Himself to me.' They asked, 'And how did He reveal Himself to you?' He said, 'No form resembles Him, He is not perceived by the senses, nor measured by people. He is near in His remoteness, far in His nearness, above all things. Nothing is said to be above Him. He is in front of all things, and nothing is in front of Him. He is within things, but not like anything within something, and outside things, but not like anything outside something. Glory be to Him who is both like this and not like this, and besides Him every thing has a beginning.' — OR — The people of the Qur'an are at the highest rank among humans, except for the prophets and messengers. So do not belittle the rights of the people of the Qur'an, for they have a high place with Allah, the Almighty and Compeller. — OR — When the two angels ascend to heaven each evening with the sick servant, the Lord, blessed and exalted, asks them: 'What have you written for My servant during his sickness?' They say: 'The complaint.' He says: 'I have dealt justly with My servant by imprisoning him in one of My prisons and then withholding his complaint.' Then He commands: 'Record for My servant what you used to write for him of good deeds in his health, and do not write any evil against him until I release him from My prison, for he is in a prison of My holding.' — OR — When Adam completed circumambulating the House and reached al-Multazam, Gabriel said to him, "Confess your sins to your Lord at this place." Adam stood and said, "O Lord, every worker has a reward, and I have done work; so what is my reward?" Allah revealed to him, "O Adam, your sin is forgiven." Adam asked, "What about my descendants?" Allah said, "Whoever from your progeny comes to this place, confesses his sins, repents like you did, and then seeks forgiveness, I will forgive him." — OR — I said to him: My companion has died, and she was compatible with me, and I intend to marry. He said: Consider carefully whom you entrust your life to, who will share in your wealth and whom you reveal your religion and secrets to. If you must do so, choose a virgin known for her goodness and good character. Know that, as he said, women were created in various types: among them is the ‘spoils’ and the ‘passionate’; among them is the ‘crescent’ when it shines for its owner; and among them is the dark. Whoever gains the good ones is fortunate, and whoever is wronged has no recourse. These women are of three kinds: A fertile, loving, chaste, and honorable woman with her family but humble with her husband; one barren without beauty or virtue who does not assist her husband towards good; and then a quarrelsome, nagging, malicious woman who is never content and refuses even the smallest kindness. — OR — From Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Safwan ibn Yahya from Al-'Ala ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim from one of them (peace be upon them both) about a man who says to his slave, 'I free you on condition that I marry you to my daughter, and if you marry or let her marry another, you must pay one hundred dinars.' He freed him on such conditions and married him, so the slave either married or consummated. He said to his master, 'Your first condition holds.' — OR — A free man and a free woman, if they commit adultery, each of them is to be whipped a hundred lashes; but a married man and a married woman must be stoned.
