Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Nahj Al-fasahah C ● عَظُمَ الأجْرُ عِنْدَ المُصِيْبَةِ، وَاِذا أحَبَّ اللَّهُ قَوْمَاً اِبْتَلاهُمْ. Calamities are rewarded greatly; and should God love a people, He will put them to trial. ● البَلاءُ مُوَكَّلٌ بِالْمَنْطِقِ؛ فَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً غَيَّرَ رَجُلاً بِرِضَاعِ كَلْبَةٍ لَرَضَعَهَا. Calamity is in pledge of (man's) words- should anybody berate someone for sucking a dog's breast, he will himself do the same.

● البَلاءُ مُوَكَّلٌ بِالْقَوْلِ؛ ما قالَ عَبْدٌ لِشَيْ‏ءٍ: »لا وَاللَّهِ لا أَفْعَلُهُ أَبَدَاً« اِلاّ تَرَكَ الشَّيْطَانُ كُلَّ عَمَلٍ؛ وَوُلِعَ بِذلِكَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يُؤْثِمَهُ. Calamity is in pledge of (man's) words- when someone says, "By God I will not do such a thing," Satan abandons all his affairs and craves for making him commit sins. ● أُدْعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنُونَ بِالاِجَابَةِ؛ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَسْتَجِيْبُ دُعَاءً مِنْ قَلْبٍ غَافِلٍ لاهٍ.

Call unto your Lord and believe that He will hear you, and know that God will not grant the prayers of those with negligent hearts. ● إِمْلاءُ الْخَيْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ السُّكُوتِ؛ وَالسُّكُوتُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ اِمْلاءِ الشَّرِّ. Calling to good weighs over silence, and silence weighs over calling to evil. ● الهَوَى مَغْفُوْرٌ لِصاحِبِهِ ما لَمْ يَعْمَلْ بِهِ أوْ يَتَكَلَّمْ. Carnal desires will be forgiven, if not put to words or action.

● حَدٌ يُعْمَلُ في الأرْضِ خَيْرٌ لِاَهْلِ الأرْضِ مِنْ أنْ يُمْطَرُوْا أرْبَعِيْنَ صَباحَاً. Carrying out heavenly- ordained punishments in this very world is better for men than forty days of raining. ● النَّظْرَةُ سَهْمٌ مَسْمُومٌ مِنْ سِهَامِ اِبْليْسَ. Casting an unlawful look (at a woman) is a poisoned arrow from Satan. ● عَظُمَ الأجْرُ عِنْدَ المُصِيْبَةِ، وَاِذا أحَبَّ اللَّهُ قَوْمَاً اِبْتَلاهُمْ. Calamities are rewarded greatly; and should God love a people, He will put them to trial.
