Success is Through Actions Alone

The tradition continues,

“O Jabir, the nearness of Allah is not achieved without His obedience. When our Shias do not have obedience and action (to their credit) we have no authority to free them from Hell. Merely a verbal claim, “I am a Shia” is not sufficient argument for Allah. (If Allah wills he can involve him in punishment; Allah has not promised to bestow salvation upon the claimants of Shiaism- the criteria are obedience and good actions). Then, only one who obeys Allah is our WalÄ« (lover) and the one who is a sinner is our enemy and our Wilāyat cannot be achieved but by piety and good deeds.”

(al-Kāfi)
