24ـ في كُلِّ نِعْمَة أجْرٌ.

24ـ في كُلِّ نِعْمَة أجْرٌ. Every bounty of this world is [headed towards] destruction. 25ـ كُلُّ نَعِيمِ الدُّنْيا ثُبُورٌ. Every blessing from which good is done [to others] is indeed safe from being taken away and is protected from vicissitudes. 26ـ كُلُّ نِعْمَة أُنِيلَ مِنْها المَعْرُوفُ فَإنَّها مَأْمُونَةُ السَّلَبِ مُحَصَّنَةٌ مِنَ الغِيَـرِ. Whenever the blessing of an ignorant person becomes good, his ugliness in it increases. 27ـ كُلَّما حَسُنَتْ نِعْمَةُ الجاهِلِ إزْدادَ قُبْحاً فيها.

Let the effect of what Allah has blessed you with be visible on you. 28ـ لِيُرَ عَلَيْكَ أثَرُ ما أنْعَمَ اللّهُ بِهِ عَلَيْكَ. Nothing has the ability to make blessings last like showing gratitude for them and nothing beautifies them like granting them [to others]. 29ـ لَنْ يَقْدِرَ أحَدٌ أنْ يَسْتَدِيمَ النِّـعَمَ بِمِثْلِ شُكْرِها ولا يَزينَها بِمِثْلِ بَذْلِها. Whoever enumerates his favours [on others] effaces his munificence. 30ـ مَنْ عَدَّدَ نِعَمَهُ مَحَقَ كَرَمَهُ.

One who takes the help of a blessing [in order] to sin is indeed an ingrate. 31ـ مَنِ اسْتَعانَ بِالنِّعْمَةِ عَلَى المَعْصِيَةِ فَهُوَ الكَفُورُ. The one upon whom the blessings of Allah are abundant, the people’s needs towards him also abound (so if he fulfils with it what Allah, the Glorified, has made obligatory for him, then he makes it last, and if he refuses what Allah, the Glorified, has made obligatory from it, then he has exposed it to cessation).

32ـ مَنْ كَثُرَتْ نِعَمُ اللّهِ عَلَيْهِ كَثُرَتْ حَوائِجُ النّاسِ إلَيْهِ(فَإنْ قامَ فيها بِما أوْجَبَ اللّهُ سُبْحانَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ عَرَّضَها لِلدَّوامِ وإنْ مَنَعَ ما أوْجَبَ اللّهُ سُبْحانَهُ فيها فَقَدْ عَرَّضَها لِلزَّوالِ). Whoever extends his hand to bestow favours [to others] has protected his [own] blessing from cessation. 33ـ مَنْ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ بِالإنْعامِ حَصَّنَ نِعْمَتَهُ مِنَ الاِنْصِرامِ.

It is incumbent upon the one whom Allah has munificently blessed to be generous in granting favours to the people. 34ـ مَنْ أوْسَعَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ نِعْمَةً (نِعَمَهُ) وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ أنْ يُوَسِّعَ النّاسَ إنْعاماً. A truthful friend is one of the blessings [of Allah]. 35ـ مِنَ النِّـعَمِ اَلصَّدِيقُ الصَّدُوقُ. Being adorned with generosity and chastity is one of the most perfect blessings. 36ـ مِنْ كَمالِ النِّعْمَةِ التَّحَلِّي بِالسَّخاءِ والتَّعَفُّفِ.

Nothing safeguards blessings like granting them to others. 37ـ ما حُصِّنَتِ النِّـعَمُ بِمِثْلِ الإنْعامِ بِها. Nothing guards blessings like gratitude.
