He does not narrate his entrustments to the friends nor does he conceal his testimony to his enemies, and he does not do anything from the truth to show off , nor does he leave it out of embarrassment that he would be blamed for fear of what they would be saying, and he seeks Forgiveness of Allah -azwj from what they are knowing, not being tempted by the words of the one who is ignorant, and he fears from the records of his deeds’.

[16] أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَصْمُتُ لِيَسْلَمَ وَ يَنْطِقُ لِيَغْنَمَ لَا يُحَدِّثُ أَمَانَتَهُ الْأَصْدِقَاءَ وَ لَا يَكْتُمُ شَهَادَتَهُ مِنَ الْبُعَدَاءِ وَ لَا يَعْمَلُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْخَيْرِ رِيَاءً وَ لَا يَتْرُكُهُ حَيَاءً إِنْ زُكِّيَ خَافَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ لِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ لَا يَغُرُّهُ قَوْلُ مَنْ جَهِلَهُ وَ يَخَافُ إِحْصَاءَ مَا عَمِلَهُ Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Ibn Fazzal, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Abu Hamza, (It has been narrated) from Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws , having said: ‘A Momin remains silent to be safe, and speaks to benefit.

He neither discusses his entrustments of the friends nor does he conceal his testimony from the remote ones, nor does he do anything from the goodness for showing off , nor does he neglect the bashfulness . If he pays Zakāt he fears from what (the people) might be saying, and he seeks Forgiveness of Allah -azwj for the ones who are not knowing (his praying for them). The words of the ignorant one do not tempt him, and he fears the ‘counting’ of what he does .
