Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim, Exalted Aphorisms And Pearls Of Speech Wisdom Wisdom الحكمة Wisdom is a garden for the intelligent and a promenade for the noble. 1ـ اَلْحِكْمَةُ رَوْضَةُ العُقَلاءِ، ونُزْهَةُ النُّبَلاءِ. Wisdom does not settle in the heart of a hypocrite except that it departs from it [soon after]. 2ـ اَلْحِكْمَةُ لاتَحِلُّ قَلْبَ المُنافِقِ إلاّ وهِيَ عَلَى ارْتِحال.

Wisdom is the lost property of every believer, so take it even if it be from the mouths of hypocrites. 3ـ اَلْحِكْمَةُ ضالَّةُ كُلِّ مُؤْمِن، فَخُذُوها ولَوْ مِنْ أفْواهِ المُنافِقينَ. Wisdom is a tree that grows in the heart and bears [its] fruit on the tongue. 4ـ اَلْحِكْمَةُ شَجَرَةٌ تَنْبُتُ فِي الْقَلْبِ، وتُثْمِرُ عَلَى اللِّسانِ. Fill your heart with wisdom and don the attire of tranquillity for these two are the ornaments of the virtuous.

5ـ اِسْتَشْعِرِ الْحِكْمَةَ، وتَجَلْبَبِ السَّكِينَةَ، فَإنَّهُما حِلْيَةُ الأبـْرارِ. The beginning of wisdom is abandoning [worldly] pleasures and its end is loathing the transitory. 6ـ أوَّلُ الْحِكْمَةِ تَرْكُ اللَّذّاتِ، وآخِرُها مَقْتُ الفانِياتِ. The greatest wisdom is for the human being to know himself and to remain within his limits. 7ـ أفْضَلُ الحِكْمَةِ مَعْرِفَةُ الإنْسانِ نَفْسَهُ، ووُقُوفُهُ عِنْدَ قَدْرِهِ. Wisdom guides [one] to the right. 8ـ اَلْحِكْمَةُ تُرْشِدُ.

Wisdom is protection. 9ـ اَلْحِكْمَةُ عِصْمَةٌ. Wisdoms are the gardens of the noble ones. 10ـ اَلْحِكَمُ رِياضُ النُّبَلاءِ. When you get lost from the wisdom of Allah then stand with His power, for indeed [even] if you do not get of His wisdom that which can heal you, you will not lose of His power that which will suffice you. 11ـ إذا ضَلَلْتَ عَنْ حِكْمَةِ اللّهِ فَقِفْ عِنْدَ قُدْرَتِهِ، فَإنَّكَ إنْ فاتَكَ مِنْ حِكْمَتِهِ ما يَشْفِيكَ فَلَنْ يَفُوتَكَ مِنْ قُدْرَتِهِ ما يَكْفِيكَ.

Through wisdom, the veil of knowledge is removed. 12ـ بِالحِكْمَةِ يُكْشَفُ غِطاءُ العِلْمِ. The fruit of wisdom is success. 13ـ ثَمَرَةُ الْحِكْمَةِ الفَوْزُ. The fruit of wisdom is disdain for the world and infatuation with the Eternal Paradise. 14ـ ثَمَرَةُ الْحِكْمَةِ التَّنَزُّهُ عَنِ الدُّنيا، والوَلَهُ بِجَنَّةِ المَأْوى. The beauty of wisdom is kindness and good amicability. 15ـ جَمالُ الْحِكْمَةِ الرِّفْقُ، وحُسْنُ المُداراةِ.
