وَقَالَ (عليه السلام):
Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:
مَنْ حَاسَبَ نَفْسَهُ رَبِحَ،
Whoever takes account of his self is benefited,
وَمَنْ غَفَلَ عَنْهَا خَسِرَ،
and whoever remains neglectful of it suffers.
وَمَنْ خَافَ أَمِنَ،
Whoever fears remains safe;
وَمَنِ اعْتَبَرَ أَبْصَرَ،
whoever takes instruction (from things around) perceives;
مَنْ أَبْصَرَ فَهِمَ،
and whoever perceives gains understanding,
وَمَنْ فَهِمَ عَلِمَ.
and whoever gains understanding secures knowledge.
