Muhammad al-Sadiq (as) was asked about wine, so he said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: The first things that my Lord prohibited for me were worshiping statues, drinking wine, and quarrelling with men – surely, Allah raised me as a mercy to the worlds – and stringed instruments, wind instruments; and the affairs of Jahiliyya, its statues, its rites, and its impurities. My Lord swore, saying: “No servant of Mine will drink wine in this world except that he will be fed the same quantity in boiling water in the Resurrection, punished or forgiven.” So, he (as) said: Do not sit with one who drinks wine, do not marry him, and do not arrange for him to be married. If he becomes ill, then do not visit him. If he dies, then do not attend his funeral. Surely, a drinker of wine will come on the Day of Resurrection with a darkened face, bleary-eyed, slanted mouth, drooling, with his tongue dangling from the back of his mouth.

Humran from Abi `Ubayda al-Hatha’. He said: Abu Ja`far (as) said: O Ziyad! Beware of argumentation, for it creates doubt, nullifies deeds, and degrades its doer. Perhaps a man may say something that he is not forgiven for. O Ziyad! There was once a community who left the required knowledge and sought unrequired knowledge, until they spoke of Allah [and His essence] and became perplexed by it; [so much so] that if a man were to call in front of them, they would reply to the back, and to the front if called from the back.

Sulayman al-Daylami from his father. He said: I spoke to Abi `Abdillah al-Sadiq (as), describing the worship, religion, virtue, and so on of a person. He said: So, he said: How is his intellect? So, I said: I do not know. So, he said: Surely, good deeds are at the proportion of one’s intellect. Surely, a man from the Children of Israel would worship Allah on a green, verdant island with any trees and pure water. Then, an angel from among the angels passed by him and said: “O Lord! Show me the rewards of the deeds of this servant of Yours.” So, Allah showed that to him, and the angel considered it minor. So, Allah revealed to him, telling him to accompany him. So, the angel came to him in the form of a human. So, he said to him: “Who are you?” He said: “I am a worshiping man. We were informed about your position and your worship in this place, so I came to worship Allah with you.” He was with him on that day, so at its end, the angel said to him: “This place of yours is a retreat.” He said: “If only our Lord had a beast. If our Lord had a donkey, we would have herded it in this place, for this grass is so luscious that it could get lost in it.” So, the angel said to him: “Does your Lord not have a donkey?” So, he said: “If He had a donkey, this grass would not go to waste.” So, Allah revealed to the angel: “Surely, I will only reward him in proportion to his intellect.” Al-Sadiq (as) said: The Messenger of Allah (s) never spoke to the worshipers at the level of his own intellect. He said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: We the prophets were commanded to speak to the people at the level of their intellect.

As for envy, one of Adam's sons killed the other due to envy.
