564. The Interpretation of Wisdom
1704.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : أوّلُ الحِكمَةِ تَرْكُ اللَّذّاتِ ، وآخِرُها مَقْتُ الفانِياتِ .1
1704.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The opening of wisdom is abandoning the [illicit] pleasures, and the peak of it is to detest the transient things.' 2
1705.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : مِن الحِكمَةِ أنْ لا تُنازِعَ مَن فَوقَكَ ، ولا تَسْتَذِلَّ مَن دُونَكَ ، ولا تَتَعاطى ما ليسَ في قُدْرَتِكَ ، ولا يُخالِفَ لِسانُكَ قَلبَكَ ، ولا قَولُكَ فِعلَكَ ، ولا تَتَكلّمَ فيما لا تَعلَمُ ، ولا تَتْرُكَ الأمرَ عِندَ الإقْبالِ وتَطْلُبَهُ عِندَ الإدْبارِ .3
1705.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'From among [the matters of] wisdom is to avoid dispute with one who is above you, to not disesteem anyone below you, to not undertake a task which is outside of your capability, to not have your tongue contradict your heart and neither your word [contradict] your action, to not speak of that which you do not know, and to not abandon a matter as it approaches only to pursue it as it retreats.' 4
1706.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام - وقد سألَهُ أبو بصيرٍعن قولِ اللَّهِ : (ومَن يُؤْتَ الحِكْمَةَ فَقَد اُوتيَ خَيراً كَثيراً) - : هِي طاعَةُ اللَّهِ ومَعرِفَةُ الإمامِ.5
1706. Imam al-Baqir (AS) when he was asked by Abu Basir regarding the words of Allah's verse, "and he who is given wisdom..." said, 'It [wisdom] is obedience to Allah and true knowledge of the Imam.' 6
1707.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إنّ الحِكمَةَ المَعرِفَةُ والتَّفَقّهُ في الدِّينِ ، فمَن فَقِهَ مِنكُم فهُو حَكيمٌ .7
1707.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Verily wisdom is inner knowledge and deep understanding of religion, for the one who understands among you is truly the wise man.' 8
1708.الإمامُ الكاظمُ عليه السلام : قيلَ لِلُقمانَ : ما يَجْمَعُ مِن حِكْمتِكَ؟ قالَ : لا أسْألُ عَمّا كُفِيتُهُ ، ولا أتَكَلّفُ ما لا يَعْنيني .9
1708.Imam al-Kazim (AS) said, 'Luqman was asked, what is the crux of your wisdom?' He said, 'I do not ask about that which I know already and I do not burden myself with that which does not concern me.' 10
