تَعَشَّوْا وَلَوْ بِكَفٍّ مِنْ حَشَفٍ؛ فَاِنَّ تَرْكَ العِشِاءِ مَهْرَمَةٌ.
تَعَشَّوْا وَلَوْ بِكَفٍّ مِنْ حَشَفٍ؛ فَاِنَّ تَرْكَ العِشِاءِ مَهْرَمَةٌ. Have supper, though a handful of bad date might be there, for surely doing the reverse brings old age and weakness. دَخَلْتُ الجَنَّةَ فَاِذا أكْثَرُ أهْلِهَا البُلْهُ. Having entered paradise, most of its dwellers I found of the unwise! حَسْبِي رَجَائِي مِنْ خَالِقِي؛ وَحَسْبِي دِيْنِي مِنْ دُنْيَايَ. Having hope in God, and having faith (in this world) are sufficient for me.
لَيْسَ المُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي لا يَأْمَنُ جَارُهُ بَوَائِقَةُ. He is not a believer whose neighbors do not feel safe against his evil. لَيْسَ بِكَذَّابٍ مَنْ أصْلَحَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ، فَقَالَ خَيْرَاً أوْ نَمَى خَيْرَاً. He is not a liar who makes peace between two persons through good words or attribution of something good to any one of them.
لَيْسَ المِسْكِيْنُ الَّذِي يَطُوْفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَيَرِدَهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ، وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ، وَلكِنَّ المِسْكِيْنَ الَّذِي لا يَجِدُ غِنَىً يُغْنِيْهِ وَلا يُعْطَى لَهُ فَيَتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلا يَقُومُ فَيَسْأَلُ. He is not poor, who begs among people to get one or two morsels of food or one or two dates, but the one who does not have anything to make him needless, who is not attended with alms, and who does not make a request to people at the same time.
أمَّنَكَ مَنْ عَتَبَكَ He who berates you, saves you (from his evil). الآمِرُ بِالمَعْرُوْفِ كَفَاعِلِهِ. He who bids a good deed is like unto the doer of it, (indeed). لا يَدْخُلُ الجَنَّةَ عَبْدٌ لا يَأْمَنُ جَارُهُ بَوائِقَهُ. He who breaks the bonds of kinship will not be allowed to Paradise. أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابَاً لِلنَّاسِ في الدُّنْيا أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابَاً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ. He who hurts people the most here will be hurt the most by God in the Hereafter.
اِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالاً. He who in the path of truth walks, effectively talks. العَبْدُ المُطِيْعُ لِوالِدَيْهِ وَلِرَبِّهِ في أعْلَى عِلِّيِّيْنَ. He who is obedient to his parents and his Lord, will reside in the highest heaven. لَيْسَ المُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يَشْبَعُ وَجَارُهُ جَائِعٌ إلى جَنْبِهِ. He who is well- fed, with his neighbors starving, is not a (true) believer. مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَتَعَلَّمُ العِلْمَ ثُمَّ لا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ، كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَكْنِزُ الكَنْزَ فَلا يُنْفِقُ مِنْهُ.
He who learns (something) but does not teach it (to others) is like unto the one with a treasure, not spending it.
