So, when that happens, O my -asws son -asws , stay in your -asws house and cry upon your -asws mistakes, and do not let the world be the greatest of your concerns.
وَ أُوصِيكَ يَا بُنَيَّ بِالصَّلَاةِ عِنْدَ وَقْتِهَا وَ الزَّكَاةِ فِي أَهْلِهَا عِنْدَ مَحَلِّهَا وَ الصَّمْتِ عِنْدَ الشُّبْهَةِ وَ الِاقْتِصَادِ وَ الْعَدْلِ فِي الرِّضَا وَ الْغَضَبِ وَ حُسْنِ الْجِوَارِ وَ إِكْرَامِ الضَّيْفِ وَ رَحْمَةِ الْمَجْهُودِ وَ أَصْحَابِ الْبَلَاءِ وَ صِلَةِ الرَّحِمِ وَ حُبِّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَ مُجَالَسَتِهِمْ وَ التَّوَاضُعِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ الْعِبَادَةِ And I -asws bequeath to you -asws , O my -asws son -asws , with (praying) the Salat during its timings, and (giving) the Zakat among its rightful ones in their places, and (be with) the silence during the doubtful matters, and the moderation and the justice during the happiness and the anger, and goodly neighbourliness, and honouring the guests, and be merciful to the fatigued and the companions of afflictions, and connecting with the relatives, and loving the poor and sitting with them, and the humility, for it is from the superior (acts of) worship.
وَ قَصِّرِ الْأَمَلَ وَ اذْكُرِ الْمَوْتَ وَ ازْهَدْ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّكَ رَهِينُ مَوْتٍ وَ غَرَضُ بَلَاءٍ وَ طَرِيحُ سُقْمٍ And shorten the hopes, and remember the death, and be ascetic in the world, for you -asws are pledged to the death and exposed to the afflictions and quick to the illness.
وَ أُوصِيكَ بِخَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ فِي سِرِّ أَمْرِكَ وَ عَلَانِيَتِكَ وَ أَنْهَاكَ عَنِ التَّسَرُّعِ بِالْقَوْلِ وَ الْفِعْلِ وَ إِذَا عَرَضَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْآخِرَةِ فَابْدَأْ بِهِ وَ إِذَا عَرَضَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا فَتَأَنَّهُ حَتَّى تُصِيبَ رُشْدَكَ فِيهِ And I bequeath you -asws to be with fear of Allah -azwj in your -asws secretive matters and your -asws announced (matters), and I -asws forbid you -asws from being quick with the words and the deeds.
And when something from the matters of the Hereafter presents, then begin with it, and when something from the matters or the world presents, be patient until you -asws attain righteous guidance regarding it.
