Blessed is he who makes his knowledge, his actions, his love, his hatred, his taking, his leaving, his speech and his silence sincere for [attaining the pleasure of] Allah. 24ـ طُوبى لِمَنْ أخْلَصَ لِلّهِ عِلْمَهُ، وعَمَلَهُ، وحُبَّهُ، وبُغْضَهُ، وأخْذَهُ، وَتَرْكَهُ وكَلامَهُ، وصَمْتَهُ.

Blessed is he who proceeds with sincerity, acts with righteousness, acquires the reserves [for the Hereafter] and eschews [the disobedience of Allah] cautiously. 25ـ طُوبى لِمَنْ قَدَّمَ خالِصاً، وعَمِلَ صالِحاً،وَ اكْتَسَبَ مَذْخُوراً، وَاجْتَنَبَ مَحذُوراً. You must espouse true sincerity and complete certitude, for these two are the best forms of worship of the Near Ones [to Allah]. 26ـ عَلَيْكُمْ بِصِدقِ الإخْلاصِ، وحُسْنِ اليَقينِ، فَإنَّهما أفضَلُ عِبادَةِ المُقَرَّبينَ.
