فَكُلُّ نَظَرٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ اعْتِبَارٌ فَهُوَ سَهْوٌ وَ كُلُّ سُكُوتٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ فِكْرٌ فَهُوَ غَفْلَةٌ وَ كُلُّ كَلَامٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ ذِكْرٌ فَهُوَ لَغْوٌ فَطُوبَى لِمَنْ كَانَ نَظَرُهُ عَبَراً وَ سُكُوتُهُ فِكْراً وَ كَلَامُهُ ذِكْراً وَ بَكَى عَلَى خَطِيئَتِهِ وَ آمَنَ النَّاسَ شَرَّهُ‏. Every view not having consideration in it, it is a mistake, and every silence not having thinking in it, it is heedlessness, and every speech not having Zikr in it, it is meaningless.

Beatitude is for one whose view was consideration, and his silence is thoughtful, and his speech is Zikr, and he cries upon his sins and the people are safe from his evil’’. [1] لي، الأمالي للصدوق ابْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: النَّوْمُ رَاحَةٌ لِلْجَسَدِ وَ النُّطْقُ رَاحَةٌ لِلرُّوحِ وَ السُّكُوتُ رَاحَةٌ لِلْعَقْلِ‏.
