6091.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : أمّا علامَةُ النّاصِحِ فأربَعةٌ : يَقضي بالحَقِّ ، ويُعطي الحَقَّ مِن نَفسِهِ ، ويَرضى‏ للنّاسِ ما يَرضاهُ لنَفسِهِ ، ولا يَعتدي على‏ أحَدٍ .¹

6091.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'As for the signs of the adviser, there are four: he judges with truth, gives the right due from his own self, accepts for people what he accepts for himself, and he does not transgress against anybody.' ²

6096.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'No sooner does a Muslim servant advise his own self for the sake of Allah, and give the rights due from himself, and take the rights due to him than he is given two features: sustenance from Allah which he will be satisfied with, and satisfaction with Allah that will save him.' ¹²
