ثَوابُ مَن عَشِقَ وعَفَّ The Reward for One Who Despite His Infatuation Restrains Himself

4ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): مَن عَشِقَ فكَتَمَ وعَفَّ فماتَ فَهُوَ شَهيدٌ.

4– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Whoever loves someone passionately, then suppresses his love in order to remain chaste and dies in the process, is a martyr.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 7000]
 

5ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ما المُجاهِدُ الشَّهيدُ في سَبيلِ اللّه‏ِ بِأعظَمَ أجراً مِمَّن قَدَرَ فعَفَّ.

5– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The fighter who is martyred in the way of Allah has no greater reward than the one who is able to sate his lust but restrains himself.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 474]
