لَوْ أَذِنَ
اللَّهُ تَعَالى في التِّجَارَةِ لِأهْلِ الجَنَّةِ لَاتَّجَرُوْا في البَزِّ
وَالعِطْرِ.
(851) Had God let the dwellers of Paradise do
commerce, they would have been merchants of clothes and perfume.
لَوْ آمَنَ بي
عَشَرَةٌ مِنَ اليَهُوْدِ لآمَنَ بِي اليَهُودُ.
(852) Had ten of the Jews believed me, all of
them would have done so.
نِصْفُ ما
يُحْفَرُ لاُمَّتِي مِنَ القُبُوْرِ مِنَ العَيْنِ وَالمِعْدَةِ.
(853) Half of the graves dug for my people is
due to evil eyes and gluttony.
ضَعِي في يَدِ
المِسْكِيْنِ وَلَوْ ظِلْفَاً مُحْرَقَ.
(854)
Hand something
to the poor even if it is a piece of burnt hoof.
الأيْدِي
ثَلاثَةٌ: فَيَدُ اللَّهِ العُلْيَا؛ وَيَدُ المُعَطِي الَّتِي تَلِيْهَا؛
وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلى، فَاعْطِ الفَضْلَ وَلا تَعْجَزْ عَنْ
نَفْسِكَ.
(855) Hands are of three kinds: God’s
hand which above all hands stands, the giver’s hand which stands below God’s
hand and the receiver’s hand which below the other two stands. Be generous,
therefore, and be not close-handed.
مِنْ سَعَادَةِ
المَرْءِ المَسْكَنُ وَالجَارُ الصَّالِحُ وَالمَرْكَبُ الهَنِيءُ.
(856) Happy is the man who has a good house,
a good neighbor and a tame horse.
أَصَابَتْكُمْ
فِتْنَةُ الضَّرَّاءِ فَصَبَرْتُمْ؛ وَاِنَّ أَخوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ
فِتْنَةُ السَّرَّاءِ مِنْ قِبَلِ النِّساءِ؛ اِذا تَسَوَّرْنَ الذَّهَبَ
وَلَبِسْنَ رُبُطَ الشَّامِ وَعَصْبَ اليَمَنِ وَأتْعَبنَ الغَنِىَّ
وَكَلَّفْنَ الفَقِيرَ مَا لا يَجِدُ.
(857) Hard trials (hardships) befell you and
you kept patient, but I am worried about you as to harder trials on the
part of women when they decorate themselves with gold, and dress themselves
in precious cloths, thereby causing troubles for the rich and asking the
poor what they cannot afford.
حُفَّتِ
الجَنَّةُ بِالْمَكَارِهِ؛ وَحُفَّتِ النَّارُ بِالشَّهَواتِ.
(858) Hardships lie on the way to Paradise,
and passions pave the way to Hell.
سَارِعُوْا في
طَلَبِ العِلْمِ، فَالْحَديثُ مِنْ صَادِقٍ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيا وَمَا
عَلَيْها مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ.
(859) Haste in seeking knowledge, for
uttering true words is better than the world and its gold and silver.
اِرْحَمُوْا
تُرْحَمُْوا، وَاغْفِرُوا يُغْفَرْ لَكُمْ.
(860) Have mercy (on people) and forgive them
to receive divine Mercy and Forgiveness.
اِرْحَمُوْا
عَزِيْزَاً ذَلَّ؛ وَغَنِيَّاً افْتَقَرَ؛ وَعَالِمَاً ضَاعَ بَيْنَ جُهَّالٍ.
(861) Have mercy on the degraded formerly
held in honor, the rich afflicted with poverty and the learned left
unknown among the ignorant.
اِرْحَمْ مَنْ
في الاَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكَ مَنْ في السَّمَاءِ.
(862) Have mercy on those who are on the
earth to receive the Mercy of the One who is in the heavens.
تَعَشَّوْا
وَلَوْ بِكَفٍّ مِنْ حَشَفٍ؛ فَاِنَّ تَرْكَ العِشِاءِ مَهْرَمَةٌ.
(863) Have supper, though a handful of
bad date might be there, for surely doing the reverse brings old age and
weakness.
دَخَلْتُ
الجَنَّةَ فَاِذا أكْثَرُ أهْلِهَا البُلْهُ.
(864) Having entered paradise, most of its
dwellers I found of the unwise!
حَسْبِي
رَجَائِي مِنْ خَالِقِي؛ وَحَسْبِي دِيْنِي مِنْ دُنْيَايَ.
(865) Having hope in God, and having
faith (in this world) are sufficient for me.
لَيْسَ
المُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي لا يَأْمَنُ جَارُهُ بَوَائِقَهُ.
(866) He is not a believer whose neighbors do
not feel safe against his evil.
لَيْسَ
بِكَذَّابٍ مَنْ أصْلَحَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ، فَقَالَ خَيْرَاً أوْ نَمَى
خَيْرَاً.
(867) He is not a liar who makes
peace between two persons through good words or attribution of something
good to any one of them.
لَيْسَ
المِسْكِيْنُ الَّذِي يَطُوْفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَيَرِدَهُ اللُّقْمَةُ
وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ، وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ، وَلكِنَّ المِسْكِيْنَ
الَّذِي لا يَجِدُ غِنَىً يُغْنِيْهِ وَلا يُعْطَى لَهُ فَيَتَصَدَّقَ
عَلَيْهِ، وَلا يَقُومُ
فَيَسْأَلُ.
(868) He is not poor, who begs among
people to get one or two morsels of food or one or two dates, but the one
who does not have anything to make him needless, who is not attended with
alms, and who does not make a request to people at the same time.
(869) He who berates you, saves you (from his evil).
الآمِرُ
بِالمَعْرُوْفِ كَفَاعِلِهِ.
(870) He who bids a good deed is like unto
the doer of it, (indeed).

الجَنَّةَ قَاطِعُ رَحِمٍ.
(871) He who breaks the bonds of kinship will
not be allowed to Paradise.
أَشَدُّ
النَّاسِ عَذَابَاً لِلنَّاسِ في الدُّنْيا أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابَاً عِنْدَ
اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
(872) He who hurts people the most here will
be hurt the most by God in the Hereafter.
اِنَّ
لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالاً.
(873) He who in the path of truth walks,
effectively talks.
العَبْدُ
المُطِيْعُ لِوالِدَيْهِ وَلِرَبِّهِ في أعْلَى عِلِّيِّيْنَ.
(874) He who is obedient to his parents and
his Lord, will reside in the highest heaven.
لَيْسَ
المُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يَشْبَعُ وَجَارُهُ جَائِعٌ إلى جَنْبِهِ.
(875) He who is well-fed, with his
neighbors starving, is not a (true) believer.
مَثَلُ الَّذِي
يَتَعَلَّمُ العِلْمَ ثُمَّ لا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ، كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَكْنِزُ
الكَنْزَ فَلا يُنْفِقُ مِنْهُ.
(876) He who learns (something) but does not teach it
to others is like unto the one with a treasure, not spending it.
السَّاعي عَلَى
الأرْمِلَةِ وَالمِسْكينِ كَالمُجَاهِدِ في سَبِيْلِ اللَّهِ، أوِ القَائِمِ
اللَّيْلَ الصَّائِمِ النَّهَارَ.
(877) He who makes efforts in favor of
orphans and widows is like unto a struggler in the way of God or the one who
stands up to prayer at night and keeps fast during the day.
الجالِبُ إلى
سُوقِنا كَالمُجاهِدِ في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ؛ وَالمُحْتَكِرُ في سُوقِنا
كالمُلْحِدِ في كِتابِ اللَّهِ.
(878) He who provides
our bazaars with something is like unto
the one who struggles in the way of God, and he who hoards goods is like
those called `infidels’ in the Book of God.
ذَاكِرُ
اللَّهِ في الغَافِلِيْنَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الصَّابِرِ في الفَارِّيْنَ.
(879) He who remembers God among the
negligent is like unto the one who among the deserters (of the battlefield)
remains steadfast and patient.
ذَاكِرُ
اللَّهِ في الغَافِلِيْنَ مِثْلُ الَّذِي يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ الفَارِّيْنَ،
وَذَاكِرُ اللَّهِ في الغَافِلِيْنَ كَالمِصْبَاحِ في البَيْتِ المُظْلِمِ،
وَذَاكِرُ اللَّهِ في الغَافِلِيْنَ كَمَثَلِ الشَّجَرَةِ الخَضْرَاءِ في
وَسَطِ الشَّجَرِ الَّذِي قَدْ تَحَاتَّ مِنَ الصَّرِيْدِ، وَذَاكِرُ
اللَّهِ في الغَافِلَيْنَ يُعَرِّفُهُ اللَّهُ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الجَنَّةِ،
وَذَاكِرُ اللَّهِ في الغَافِلِيْنَ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ
فَصِيْحٍ وَأعْجَمَ.
(880) He who remembers God among the
negligent is like unto the one who fights the deserters of the battlefield,
is like unto a lamp in a dark house, and is like unto a green tree among
cold-stricken leafless ones-one whose place of residence in Paradise is
shown to him by God, and whose sins will He forgive even if they amount to
the number of silent and speaking people.
التَّائِبُ
مِنَ الذَّنْبَ كَمَنْ لا ذَنْبَ لَهُ؛ وَالْمُسْتَغْفِرُ مِنَ الذَّنْبِ
وَهُوَ مُقيمٌ عَلَيْهِ كَالمُسْتَهْزِىءُ بِرَبِّه؛ وَمَنْ آذى مُسْلِمَاً
كانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ مِثْلُ مَنَابِتِ النَّخْلِ.
(881) He who repents is like unto a
sinless person, and he who asks God for forgiveness but insists in
committing sins is like unto the one who ridicules Him, and he who annoys
Muslims is sinful to the extent of palm groves.
التَّائِبُ
مِنَ الذَّنْبِ كَمَنْ لا ذَنْبَ لَهُ؛ وَاِذا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ عَبْدَاً لَمْ
يَضُرُّهُ ذَنْبٌ.
(882) He who repents is like unto a
sinless person, and when God loves someone, he will be safe from sins.
العَائِدُ في
هِبَتِهِ كَالكَلْبِ يَعُودُ في قَيْئِهِ.
(883) He who takes back his gift is like unto
a dog eating its vomit.
مَثَلُ الَّذِي
يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ الخَيْرَ وَيَنْسَى نَفْسَهُ مِثْلُ الفَتِيْلَةِ تُضِيءُ
لِلنَّاسِ وَتُحْرِقُ نَفْسَهَا.
(884) He who teaches good to people but
forgets about himself is like unto a candle giving light to people but
burning itself.
أَيُّمَ
رَاعٍ
اسْتَرْعى رَعِيَّةً فَلَمْ يُحِطْها بِالاَمانَةِ وَالنَّصيحَةِ ضاقَتْ
عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ تَعَالى الَّتي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.
(885) He who undertakes the affairs of a
group of people, but carries it out without (enough) care and honesty, will
be excluded from the Exalted God’s Mercy, which extends to all things.

اللَّهُ اِلى امْرِيءٍ أَخَّرَ أَجَلَهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ سِتِّيْنَ سَنَةً.
(888) He whose death is left off to live for
sixty years, will be spared any excuses (for his sins) by God.
الصِّحَّةُ
وَالفَراغُ نِعْمَتَانِ مَكْفُورَتَانِ.
(889) Health and relief are two unthanked
blessing.
لَيْسَ
الخَبَرُ كَالْمُعَايَنَةِ، إنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالى أخْبَرَ مُوْسَى بِمَا صَنَعَ
قَوْمُهُ في العِجْلِ فَلَمْ يُلْقِ الألْوَاحَ، فَلَمَّا عَايَنَ مَا
صَنَعُوْا ألْقَى الألْوَاحَ فَانْكَسَرَتْ.
(890) Hearsay is
no evidence.When the Almighty Lord bespoke to Moses of his followers’
tendency towards the Golden Calf, he did not break the tablets, but when he
saw their corruption in person, he cast the tablets down and broke them.
مَثَلُ
القَلْبِ مِثْلُ رِيْشَةٍ بِأَرْضٍ تُقَلِّبُهَا الرِّيَاحُ.
(891) Hearts are like unto roots in a land,
turned over by wind (all the time).
لِلْنَّارِ
بَابٌ لا يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ إِلاّ مَنْ شَفَى غَيْظَهُ بِسَخَطِ اللَّهِ تَعَالى.
(892) Hell has a door through which nobody is
allowed to pass, save those who quench their wrath by making the

(893) Hell is filled with wishes, and
Heaven with the abominable.
عَيْنَانِ لا
يَمَسُّهُمَا النَّارُ أبَدَاً: عَيْنٌ بَكَتْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ، وَعَيْنٌ
بَاتَتْ تَحْرُسُ في سَبِيْلِ اللَّهِ.
(894)
Hell is
not allowed to burn the eyes having shed tear out of God’s fear, and the
eyes having watched out in the way of God.
حُرِّمَتِ
النَّارُ عَلى عَيْنٍ بَكَتْ مِنْ خَشْيَة اللَّهِ، وَحُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلى
عَيْنٍ سَهِرَتْ في سَبيلِاللَّهِ، وَحُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلى عَيْنٍ غَضَّتْ
عَنْ مَحارِم اللَّهِ، أوْ عَيْنٍ فُقِئَتْ في سَبِيْلِ اللَّهِ.

for God’s sake, the eyes having been kept away from the unlawful and the
eyes having been cut out in the way of God.

لأَنْ أُعِيْنَ
أخِي المُؤْمِنَ عَلى حَاجَتِهِ أحَبُّ اِلَيَّ مِنْ صِيَامِ شَهْرٍ
وَاعْتِكَافٍ في المَسْجِدِ الحَرَامِ.
(901) Helping a Muslim brother in his
requests is more favorite to me than keeping fast for a month and having
ritual seclusion in the holy Mosque.
مُنَاوَلَةُ
المِسْكِيْنِ تَقِي مِيْتَةَ السُّوْءِ.
(902) Helping the poor, suspends terrible
deaths.

اِحْتِكارُ
الطَّعَامِ بِمَكَّةَ اِلْحَادٌ.
(906) Hoarding people’s food in Mecca is
fighting God in disbelief.
أَكْرِمُوْا
الْخُبْزَ؛ فَاِنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْزَلَهُ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِ الْسَّمَآءِ؛
وَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِ الأَرْضِ.
(907) Hold bread in honor, for God has sent
it down from the blessings of the heavens and brought it up from the
blessings of the earth.
أَكْرِمُوا
الْعُلَمَاءَ؛ فَاِنَّهُمْ وَرَثَةُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ؛ فَمَنْ أَكْرَمَهُمْ فَقَدْ
أَكْرَمَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ.
(908) Hold the learned in respect, for they
are heir to prophets, and whoever honors them, honors God and His messenger,
(indeed).
أَكْرِمُوا
الشُّهُودَ؛ فَاِنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْتَخْرِجُ بِهِمُ الْحُقُوقَ وَيَدْفَعُ بِهِمُ
الظُّلْمَ.

لَيْسَ
الجِهَادُ أنْ يَضْرِبَ الرَّجُلُ بِسَيْفِهِ في سَبِيْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالى،
إنَّمَا الجِهَادُ مَنْ عَالَ وَالِدَيْهِ وَوَلَدَهُ فَهُوَ في جِهَادٍ،
وَمَنْ عَالَ نَفْسَهُ فَكَفَّهَا عَنِ النَّاسِ فَهُوَ في جِهَادٍ.
(911) Holy war is not mere fighting in the
way of the Almighty God. Verily, it is to shoulder one’s own parents and
offspring’s burdens, and the man who carries his own
burden to be needless of people is a struggler (in the way of God).
الأمَانَةُ
تَجْلِبُ الرِّزْقَ؛ وَالخِيَانَةُ تَجْلِبُ الفَقْرَ.

وَأهْلُهَا مُعَانُونَ عَلَيْهَا، وَالمُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهَا كَبَاسِطِ يَدِهِ في
صَدَقَةٍ.
(915)
Horses abound in
everlasting gains and achievements and stand as
a source of assistance for their owners, and spending for horses is
like unto being generous in giving charity.
الخَيْلُ
مَعْقُودٌ في نَواصِيْهَا الخَيْرُ إلى يَوْمِ القِيامَةِ، وَأهْلُهَا
مُعَانُونَ عَلَيْهَا فَامْسَحُوْا بِنَوَاصِيْهَا وَادْعُوْا لَهَا
بِالبَرَكَةِ، وَقَلِّدُوْهَا وَلا تُقَلِّدُوهَا الأوْتَارَ.
(916) Horses abound in everlasting gains and stand as
a source of assistance for their owners. So, caress horses’ foreheads,
ask God for their good, adorn them with something, but not with warfare
implements.
الخَيْرُ
مَعْقُودٌ بِنَوَاصِي الخَيْلِ إلى يَوْمِ القِيَامَةِ، وَالمُنْفِقُ عَلَى

(917) Horses abound in everlasting gains, and

وَالمَغْنَمُ.

spoils and rewards.
سَاعَاتُ
الأمْراضِ يُذْهِبْنَ سَاعَاتِ الخَطاي.
(919) Hours of sickness sweep away hours of
sins.
تَبْنُونَ ما
لا تَسْكُنُونَ؛ وَتَجْمَعُونَ ما لا تَأْكُلُونَ؛ وَتَأْمُلُونَ ما لا
تُدْرِكُونَ.
(920) Houses you make wherein you will not rest,
things you amass which you never taste and wishes you have which are never
fulfilled.
بِئْسَ
القَوْمُ قَوْمٌ يَمْشِي المُؤْمِنُ فِيْهِمْ بِالْتَّقِيَّةِ وَالكِتْمَانِ.
(921) How bad are the people among whom
believers have to live with dissimulation and denial.

القَوْمُ قَوْمٌ لا يُنْزِلُونَ الضَّيْفَ.
(922) How bad are those who do not invite
guests (to their houses)!
بِئْسَ
العَبْدُ المحْتَكِرُ، اِنْ أَرْخَصَ اللَّهُ تَعَالى الاَسْعَارَ حَزِنَ؛
وَاِنْ أَغْلاهَا اللَّهُ فَرِحَ.
(923) How bad is a hoarder of things, who
gets depressed when the Exalted God makes the prices fall, and rejoices when
He causes them to rise!
كَيْفَ
يُقَدِّسُ اللَّهُ أُمَّةً لا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ شَدِيْدِهِمْ لِضَعِيْفِهِمْ؟
(924) How is God (expected) to consider a
people as pious, who do not endeavor to take back the rights of the
weak from the powerful?
أَمَّا بَعْدُ
فَمَا بَالُ الْعَامِلِ نَسْتَعْمِلُهُ فَيَأْتِينَا فَيَقُولُ هذا مِنْ
عَمَلِكُمْ وَهذا أُهْدِيَ اِلَيَّ، أَفَلا قَعَدَ في بَيْتِ أَبِيْهِ
وَأُمِّهِ فَيَنْظُرَ هَلْ يُهْدَى لَهُ أَمْ لا؟
(925) How is it that when one of our agents returns
to us says, “I have collected this for you and I have been gifted that?” If
so, why did he not stay in his father’s and mother’s house to see
whether people gift him or not?
بِئْسَ
الطَّعَامُ طَعَامُ العُرْسِ يُطْعَمُهُ الأَغْنِيَاءُ؛ وَيُمْنَعُهُ
المَسَاكِيْنُ.
(926) How loathsome is the food of a
marriage ceremony, when served to the rich but not to the poor!

brush their teeth before or after eating and when making ablution.
نِعْمَ
الشَّيءُ الهَدِيَّةُ أمَامَ الحَاجَةِ.

ما أحْسَنَ

العِبَادَةِ.

حَقِيْقٌ
بِالْمَرْءِ أنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ مَجالِسُ يَخْلُوْ فيها وَيَذْكُرُ ذُنُوبَهُ

التَّواضُعُ لا
يَزِيْدُ العَبْدَ اِلاّ رَفْعَةً؛ فَتَواضَعُوْا يَرْفَعْكُمُ اللَّهُ؛
وَالعَفْوُ لا يَزِيْدُ العَبْدَ اِلاّ عِزَّاً؛ فَاعْفُوْا يُعِزُّكُمُ
اللَّهُ؛ وَالصَّدَقَةُ لا تَزِيْدُ المَالَ اِلاّ كَثْرَةً؛ فَتَصَدَّقُوْا
يَرْحَمْكُمُ اللَّهُ.
(936) Humility adds
nothing to God’s servants but
dignity. Be humble, therefore, and God will grant you dignity.
Forgiveness adds nothing to God’s servants but glory. Forgive,
therefore, and God will make you glorified. Charity causes
increase in one’s wealth. Give charity, therefore, and God will bestow (His)
Mercy on you.
مَنْ آذَى
مُسْلِمَاً فَقَدْ آذانِي؛ وَمَنْ آذانِي فَقَدْ آذَى اللَّهَ.

hurting me is hurting God.
أَعْظَمُ
النَّاسِ حَقَّاً عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ زَوْجُهَا؛ وَأَعْظَمُ النَّاسِ حَقَّاً
عَلَى الرَّجُلِ أُمُّهُ.
(938) Husbands have the greatest claims on
wives, and mothers on their children.
