Tradition 7

لا وَاللهِ ما اَرادَ اللّهُ تَعالى مِنَ النّاسِ إلّا خَصلَتَينِ: اَن يُقِرّوا لَهُ بِالنِّعَمِ فَيَزيدَهُم وَ بِالذُّنُوبِ فَيَغفِرَها لَهُم.

Imam al-Baqir (‘a) said: “By Allah, He, the Exalted, expects of people but two traits: that they confess for Him the blessings in order that He increases His bounties for them; and that they make confessions about their evil actions and then He forgives those sins for them.”
