● اِيَّاكُمْ وَالغِيْبَةَ...
● اِيَّاكُمْ وَالغِيْبَةَ؛ فَاِنَّ الغِيْبَةَ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الزِّنَا، اِنَّ الرَّجُلَ قَدْ يَزْنِي وَيَتُوبُ فَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَاِنَّ صَاحِبَ الغِيبَةِ لا يُغْفَرُ لَهُ حَتَّى يَغْفِرَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ. Refrain from backbiting, for it is worse than adultery. Verily, when someone commits adultery and repents, God accepts his repentance, but a backbiter will not be forgiven until he is first forgiven by the backbited. ● اِيَّاكَ وَقَرِيْنَ السُّوْءِ؛ فَاِنَّكَ بِهِ تُعْرَفُ.
Refrain from bad friends, for you are identified through them. ● اِيَّاكَ وَالسُّؤَالَ؛ فَاِنَّهُ ذُلٌّ حَاضِرٌ؛ وَفَقْرٌ تَتَعَجَّلُهُ. Refrain from begging, for it is immediate meanness, and the poverty towards which you haste. عَلَيْكَ؛ وَتُعْطِي مَنْ حَرَمَكَ. munificence to gain dignity before God. ● أَصْلِحْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلَوْ تَعْنِي الْكِذْبَ. Reconcile people even through telling (a harmless) lie. ● سَدِّدُوْا وَقَارِبُوْا. Rectify yourself and seek proximity (to God).
● الحُمْرَةُ مِنْ زِيْنَةِ الشَّيْطانِ Redness is the beauty of Satan. ● اِيَّاكُمْ وَالدَّيْنَ؛ فَاِنَّهُ هَمٌّ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمَذَلَّةٌ بِالنَّهَارِ. Refrain from adultery, for it takes away the brightness of countenance, cuts off (the adulterer's) sustenance, makes the Merciful (God) furious and causes eternal punishment. ● اِحْذَرُوا الْبَغْىَ؛ فَاِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ عُقُوبَةٍ هِيَ أَحْضَرُ مِنْ عُقُوبَةِ الْبَغْيِ. Refrain from aggression, for its punishment is the most immediate.
● اِجْتَنِبِ الْغَضَبَ. Refrain from anger. ● اِيَّاكُمْ وَالْشُّحَّ؛ فَاِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِالشُّحِّ، أَمَرَهُمْ بِالبُخْلِ فَبَخِلُوْا؛ وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالقَطِيْعَةِ فَقَطَعُوْا؛ وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالفُجُوْرِ فَفَجَرُوْا. Refrain from avarice, for it ruined your predecessors. It led them to misery and they became misers, it led them to breaking the bonds of kinship and they did so, and it led them to wickedness and they became wicked.
● اِيَّاكُمْ وَالغِيْبَةَ؛ فَاِنَّ الغِيْبَةَ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الزِّنَا، اِنَّ الرَّجُلَ قَدْ يَزْنِي وَيَتُوبُ فَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَاِنَّ صَاحِبَ الغِيبَةِ لا يُغْفَرُ لَهُ حَتَّى يَغْفِرَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ. Refrain from backbiting, for it is worse than adultery. Verily, when someone commits adultery and repents, God accepts his repentance, but a backbiter will not be forgiven until he is first forgiven by the backbited. ● اِيَّاكَ وَقَرِيْنَ السُّوْءِ؛ فَاِنَّكَ بِهِ تُعْرَفُ.
