The Treatise on Rights by Imam Zain al Abidin (A.S) Rights of Allah -2

2. Rights of Self

"The right of your (nafs) against you is that you employ it in obeying Allah; then you deliver to your tongue its right, to your hearing its right, to your sight its right, to your hand its right, to your leg its right, to your stomach its right, to your private part its right, and you seek help from Allah in all that." 

The Ima`m, peace be on him, has mentioned the rights of self against man. The self has right against man. The most important of them is that he should employ it in obeying Allah and works which please Him, and should not make it walk on the path of Satan. With this man can rescue his soul from dangers and destruction, and save it from great evil. The Ima`m has mentioned that each limb has a right against man, so let's listen to his detailed speech about these rights.
