وَقَالَ (عليه السلام):
Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:
طُوبَى لِمَنْ ذَلَّ فِى نَفْسِهِ
Blessed be lie who humbles himself,
وَ طَابَ كَسْبُهُ
whose livelihood is pure,
وَ صَلَحَتْ سَرِيرَتُهُ
whose heart is chaste,
وَ حَسُنَتْ خَلِيقَتُهُ
whose habits are virtuous,
وَ أَنْفَقَ الْفَضْلَ مِنْ مَالِهِ
who spends his savings (in the name of Allah),
وَ أَمْسَكَ الْفَضْلَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ
who prevents his tongue from speaking nonsense,
وَ عَزَلَ عَنِ النَّاسِ شَرَّهُ
who keeps people safe from evil,
وَ وَسِعَتْهُ السُّنَّةُ
who is pleased with the (Prophet's) sunnah,
وَ لَمْ يُنْسَبْ إلَى الْبِدْعَةِ .
and who is unconnected with innovation (in religion).
قال الرضى: أقول: و من الناس من ينسب هذا الكلام إلى رسول الله ص و كذلك الذى قبله .
As-Sayyid ar-Radi Says: Some people attribute this and the previous saying to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his descendants).
