56- When a community is composed of really honest, sober and virtuous people then your forming a bead opinion about anyone of its members when nothing wicked has been seen of him is a great injustice to him; on the contrary in a corrupt society, to from a good opinion of anyone out of those people and to trust him is doing harm to yourself . 57- وَقِيلَ لَهُ عَلَيهِ السَّلَامُ: کَيفَ نَجِدُکَ يَا أَمِيرَالمُؤمِنِينَ؟. فَقَالَ عَلَيهِ السَّلَامُ: کَيفَ يَکُونُ مَن يَفنَ?
بِبَقَائِهِ، وَيَسقَمُ بِصِحَّتِهِ، وَيُؤتَ? مِن مَأمَنِهِ. 57- When Somebody asked Hazard as to how he was getting on. He replied: "What do you want to know about a person whose life is leading him towards ultimate death, whose health is the first stage towards illness and whom society has forced out of his retreat". 58- إضَاعَةُ الفُرصَةِ غُصَّةٌ. 58- To lose or to waste an opportunity will result in grief and sorrow.
59- مَثَلُ الدُّنيَا کَمَثَلِ الحَيَّةِ لَيَّنٌ مَسُّهَا وَالسَّمُّ النَّاقِعُ فِي جَوفِهَا، يَهوِد? إلَيهَا الغِرَّ الجَاهِلُ وَ يَخذَرُهَا ذُو اللَّبَّ العَاقِلُ. 59- The world, which offers your vicious pleasures is like a snake, so soft to the touch, but so full of lethal poison. Unwise people are allured by it and drawn towards it and wise men avoid it and keep away from its poisonous effects. 60- شَتَّانَ مَا بَينَ عَمَلَين: عَمَلٍ تَذهَبُ لَذَّتُهُ وَ تَبقَ?
تَبِعَتُهُ، وَ عَمَلٍ تَذهَبُ مَؤُؤنَتُهُ وَ يَبقَ? أَجرُهُ. 60- What difference is there between a deed whose pleasure passes away leaving behind it the pangs of pain and punishment and the deed whose cruel severity or oppressive harshness comes to an end leaving behind it heavenly rewards and blessings. 61- طُوبَ?
لِمَن ذَلَّ فيِ نَفسِهِ وَ طَابَ کَسبُهُ وَ صَلَحَت سَرِيرَتُهُ وَ حَسُنَت خَلِيقَتُهُ، وَ أَنفَقَ الفَضلَ مِن مَالِهِ، وَ أَمسَکَ الفَضلَ مِن لِسَانِهِ وَ عَزَلَ عَن النَّاسِ شَّرهُ، وَوَسِعَتهُ السُّنَّةُ، وَلَم يُنسَب إلَ? البِدعَةِ.
61- Blessings are for the man who humbles himself before God, Whose sources of income are honest, whose intentions are always honourable, whose character is noble, whose habits are sober, who gives away in the name and in the cause of God the wealth which is lying surplus with him who controls his torgue from vicious and useless talk, who abstains from oppression and tyranny, who cheerfully and faithfully follows the traditions of the Holy Prophet (A.S.)and who keeps himself away from innovation in religion.
