الكَيِّسُ مَنْ
دَانَ نَفْسَهُ وَعَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ المَوْتِ، وَالعَاجِزُ مَنْ اتَّبَعَ
نَفْسَهُ هَوَاهَا وَتَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ الأمَانِيَّ.
(1117)Keen is the one who rules over his (evil)
soul and makes provisions for the Hereafter, and weak is the one who obeys
his carnal desires and asks God for (unrealizable) longings.
اِتَّقِ
المَحَارِمَ تَكُنْ أَعْبَدَ النَّاسِ؛ وَارْضَ بِمَا قَسَمَ اللَّهُ لَكَ
تَكُنْ أَغْنَى النَّاسِ.
(1118)Keep away form the unlawful to be the
most (obedient) servant of God, and be convinced with your destined share to
be needless of all people.
اِتَّقُوا
صَاحِبَ الْجُذَامِ كَمَا يُتَّقَى السَّبُعُ؛ اِذا هَبَطَ وَادِيَاً
فَاهْبِطُوا غَيْرَهُ.
(1119)Keep away from a leprous as you do from
a wild animal. Should (s)he settle somewhere, you do settle somewhere else.

(1120)Keep away from oppression, for it will
bring (you) darkness in the Day of Judgment.
اِتَّقُوا
الدُّنْيا؛ وَاتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ؛ فَاِنَّ اِبْلِيْسَ طَلاّعٌ رَصَّادٌ؛ وَمَا
هُوَ بِشَيْىءٍ مِنْ فُخُوخِهِ بِأَوْثَقَ لِصَيْدِهِ فِي الاَتْقِيَاءِ مِنَ
النِّسَاءِ.
(1121)Keep away from the (material) world and
women, for Satan lies is ambush in all mastery, and none of his traps is
more reliable than women to hunt holders of piety.

زَلَّةَ الْعَالِمِ؛ فَاِنَّ زَلَّتَهُ تُكَبْكِبُهُ في النَّارِ.
(1122)Keep away from the slips of an scholar,
for it will cause him fall into the Fire.
اِتَّقُوا
الدُّنْيا؛ فَوَالَّذيْ نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ اِنَّها لأسْحَرُ مِنْ هَارُوتَ
وَمَارُوتَ.
(1123)Keep away from the world (materiality),
for I swear by Him who has authority over my soul that it is more
sorceries than Harut and Marut.

أَرْحَامَكُمْ وَلَوْ بِالسَّلام.
(1124)Keep close connections with your
relatives even through greeting.
جالِسِ
الاَبْرارَ فَاِنَّكَ اِذا فَعَلْتَ خَيْرَاً حَمَدُوُكَ؛ وَاِنْ أَخْطَأَتَ
لَمْ يُعَنِّفُوُكَ.
(1125)Keep company with
good people, for if you do good, they will praise you, and if you do evil,
they will not be hard on you.
خَالِطُوْا
النَّاسَ بِأَخْلاقِهِمْ، وَخَالِفُوهُمْ في أعْمَالِهِمْ.
(1126)Keep company with people for (the
sake of) their good manners, and keep distance with them for (evil) deeds.
اِذا
رَأَيْتُمْ أَهْلَ الْجُوعِ وَالتَّفَكُّرِ فَادْنُوا مِنْهُمْ؛ فَاِنَّ
الْحِكْمَةَ تَجْرِي عَلى أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ.
(1127)Keep company with the hungry and

وَعَليْكُمْ بِصَدَقَةِ السِّرِّ؛ فَاِنَّهَا تُطْفِي غَضَبَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ
وَجَلَّ.

اِحْتَرِسُوا
مِنَ النَّاسِ بِسُوءِ الظَّنِّ.

people.
مَنْ لَمْ
تَنْتَفِعْ بِدِيْنِهِ وَلا دُنْياهُ فَلا خَيْرَ لَكَ في مُجَالَسَتِهِ؛
وَمَنْ لَمْ يُوجِبْ لَكَ فَلا تُوجِبْ لَهُ وَلا كَرَامَةً.
(1136)Keeping company is void with the one who
avails you no worldly or otherworldly gain, and do not observe respect for
the one who is not respectful to you, and there is no greatness for such a
person.
مِنْ كُنُوزِ
البِرِّ كِتْمَانُ المَصَائِبِ وَالأمْرَاضِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ.
(1137)Keeping disasters, diseases and alms in
secret is among the treasures of goodness.
السُّكُوتُ
خَيْرٌ مِنْ اِمْلاءِ الشَّرِّ.
(1138)Keeping silent is better than dictating
evil.
ثَلاثٌ مِنْ
أَبْوابِ البِرِّ: سَخاءُ النَّفْسِ؛ وَطِيْبُ الكَلامِ؛ وَالصَّبْرُ عَلَى
الاَذَى.
(1139)Kindness requires the following three:
self-sacrifice, using good words, and tolerating (others’) bothering.
بِرُّ
الوَالِدَيْنِ يُجْزِىءُ عَنِ الجِهَادِ.
(1140)Kindness to parents is tantamount to
struggling in the way of God (Jihad)
بِرُّ
الوَالِدَيْنِ يَزِيْدُ في العُمْرِ، وَالكِذْبُ يَنْقُصُ الرِّزْقَ؛
وَالدُّعَاءُ يَرُدُّ القَضَاءَ.
(1141)Kindness to parents prolongs one’s life,
telling lie reduces one’s sustenance and praying wards off (bad) accidents.
البِرُّ لا
يَبْلَى وَالذَّنْبُ لا يُنْسى؛ وَالدَّيَّانُ لا يَمُوتُ؛ اِعْمَلْ ما شِئْتَ
فَكَما تَدِيْنُ تُدَانُ.
(1142)Kindness will not fade away, badness will
in the minds stay, and the Just God will not die. Do, therefore, what you
can do, for the like of it will be given back to you.
الرَّحِمِ
مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالعَرْشِ يَقُوْلُ: مَنْ وَصَلَنِي وَصَلَهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ
قَطَعَنِي قَطَعَهَ اللَّهُ.
(1143)Kinship hangs from heavens, saying,
“God will extend His bond to whoever keeps me intact, and disconnects His
link with whoever severs me.”

شِجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمنِ، فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ
قَطَعَهَا قَطَعَهُ اللَّهُ.
(1144)Kinship is a divine link. Whoever keeps
it intact, will enjoy God’s bond, and whoever severs it, will lose it.
لِلْرَّحِمِ
لِسَانٌ عِندَ المِيْزَانِ تَقُوْلُ: يَا رَبِّ مَنْ قَطَعَنِي فَاقْطَعْهُ؛
وَمَنْ وَصَلَنِي فَصِلْهُ.
(1145)Kinship will have a tongue in the Day of
Judgment, saying, “O God! Whoever cut me off, cut him/her off, and whoever
kept me intact, keep him/her intact(today).”
أَلا اِنَّ
الْغَضَبَ جَمْرَةٌ تُوقَدُ في جَوْفِ ابْنِ آدَمَ، ألا تَرَوْنَ اِلى حُمْرَةِ
عَيْنَيْهِ وَانْتِفَاخِ أَوْدَاجِهِ؛ فَاِذا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئَاً مِنْ
ذلِكَ فَالاَرْضَ الاَرْضَ.
(1146)Know for sure that anger is a
fire burning in man’s heart. Do you not see the redness of his eyes and the
inflammation of his veins when he is cross. When one of you happens to
experience such a feeling, you should better take a sitting position.
أَلا اِنَّ
النَّاسَ مِنْ آدَمَ؛ وَآدَمُ مِنْ تُرَابٍ؛ وَأَكْرَمُهُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ
أَتْقَاهُمْ.
(1147)Know for sure that people are Adam’s
offspring, and Adam was created from soil. Verily, the most honored of them
are the most virtuous.

يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ اِلاّ كانَ ثَالِثُهُمَا الشَّيْطَانَ.
(1148)Know for sure that Satan is the third
party to the illegitimate privacy of a man and a woman.
أَلا اِنَّ
بَنِي آدَمَ خُلِقُوا عَلى طَبَقَاتٍ شَتَّى؛ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُولَدُ مُؤْمِنَاً
وَيَحْيَا مُؤْمِنَاً وَيَمُوتُ مُؤْمِنَاً، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُولَدُ كافِرَاً
وَيَحْيَا كافِرَاً وَيَمُوتُ كافِرَاً، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُولَدُ كافِرَاً
وَيَحْيَا كافِرَاً وَيَمُوتُ مُؤْمِنَاً.
(1149)Know for sure that sons of Adam have
been created into different classes: some are born believers, living and
dying as believers; some are born disbelievers, living and dying as
disbelievers; and some are born disbelievers, living as disbelievers but
dying as believers.
اِخْتَبِرُوا
النَّاسَ بِأَخْدَانِهِم؛ فَاِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُخَادِنُ مَنْ يُعْجِبُهُ.
(1150)Know people by knowing their friends,
for men love the like of themselves.
أَلا وَاِنَّ
في الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً اِذا صَلُحَتْ صَلُحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَاِذا
فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، ألا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ.
(1151)Know that in man’s body there is a
lump of flesh which corrupts or rectifies the whole body, being it
corrupt or rectified respectively. That is man’s heart.
أَلا اِنَّ
خَيْرَ التُّجَّارِ مَنْ كانَ حَسَنَ الْقَضَاء حَسَنَ الطَّلَبِ، وَشَرَّ
التُّجَارِ مَنْ كانَ سَيِّىءَ الْقَضَاءِ سَيِّىءَ الطَّلَبِ، فَاِذا كانَ
الرَّجُلُ حَسَنَ الْقَضَاءِ سَيِّىءَ الطَّلَبِ؛ أَوْ كانَ سَيِّىءَ
الْقَضَاءِ حَسَنَ الطَّلَبِ فَاِنَّهَا بِهَا.
(1152)Know that the best businessman is the
one who is good both in paying debts and demanding credits, and the worst is
the one who is bad in both. If a man is good in the former but bad in the
latter or vice versa, that is something in its own right.
أَلا اِنَّ
خَيْرَ الرِّجَالِ مَنْ كانَ بَطيءَ الْغَضَبِ سَريعَ الرِّضَا، وَشَرَّ
الرِّجَالِ مَنْ كانَ سَريعَ الْغَضَبِ بَطيءَ الرِّضَا، فَاِذا كانَ
الرَّجُلُ بَطيءَ الْغَضَبِ بَطيءَ الْفَيء؛ وَسَريعَ الْغَضَبِ سَريعَ
الْفَيء فَاِنَّهَا بِهَا.
(1153)Know that the best of men is the one who
becomes enraged hardly and gets pleased easily, and the worst of
them is the one who gets pleased hardly and become enraged easily. If a
man hardly becomes enraged and hardly gets pleased or easily becomes enraged
and easily gets pleased, that is something in its own right.
لِيَرُدَّكَ
عَنِ النَّاسِ مَا تَعْرِفُ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ، وَاخْزُنْ لِسَانَكَ إلاّ مِنْ
خَيْرٍ، فَاِنَّكَ بِذلِكَ تَغْلِبُ الشَّيْطَانَ.
(1154)Knowing your faults should stop you
recounting people’s faults. Control your tongue, save for well- wishing, for
this can make you defeat Satan.
العَالِمُ
وَالعِلْمُ في الجَنَّةِ، فَاِذا لَمْ يَعْمَلِ العَالِمُ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ كانَ
العِلْمُ وَالعَمَلُ في الجَنَّةِ، وَكَانَ العَالِمُ في النَّارِ.
(1155)Knowledge and the learned dwell in
Paradise and thus, if the learned do not act upon their knowledge,
action and knowledge will in Paradise dwell, and the learned in Hell.
العِلْمُ
وَالمَالٌ يَسْتُرَانِ كُلَّ عَيْبٍ؛ وَالجَهْلُ وَالفَقْرُ يَكْشِفَانِ كُلَّ
عَيْبٍ.
(1156)Knowledge and wealth keep all
faults covert, but ignorance and poverty make them overt.
العِلْمُ
أفْضَلُ مِنَ العَمَلِ، وَخَيْرُ الأعْمَالِ أوْسَطُهَ.
(1157)Knowledge id better than deed, and the
best of all deeds is a moderate one.
العِلْمُ
خَلِيْلُ المُؤْمِنِ، وَالحِلْمُ وَزيرُهُ، وَالعَقْلُ دَلِيْلُهُ، وَالعَمَلُ
قَائِدُهُ، وَالرِّفْقُ والِدُهُ، وَالبِرُّ أخُوْهُ وَالصَّبْرُ أمِيْرُ
جُنُوْدِهِ.
(1158)Knowledge is a believer’s friend,
fortitude being his minister, intellect being his guide, action being his
leader, moderateness being his father, kindness being his brother, and
patience being the commander of his army.
ضَالَّةُ
المُؤْمِنِ العِلْمُ، كُلَّمَا قَيَّدَ حَدِيْثَاً طُلِبَ إليْهِ آخَرُ.
(1159)Knowledge is a believer's lost one.
Whenever (s)he learns a bit of it, (s)he demands another.
اِنَّمَا
العِلْمُ بِالتَّعَلُّمِ، وَاِنَّمَا الحِلْمُ بِالتَّحَلُّمِ، وَمَنْ
يَتَحَرَّ الخَيْرَ يُعْطَهُ؛ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ الشَّرَّ يُوْقَهُ.
(1160)Knowledge is acquired through
learning and forbearance is achieved through practicing it. Whoever seeks
good will be offered good and whoever fears evil will be saved from it.
العِلْمُ
ثَلاثَةٌ: كِتَابٌ نَاطِقٌ، وَسُنَّةٌ مَاضِيَةٌ، وَ"لا أدْرِي."
(1161)Knowledge is of three kinds: a manifest
book, a practiced tradition and “I don’t know”.
العِلْمُ
عِلْمَانِ: فَعِلْمٌ في القَلْبِ فَذلِكَ العِلْمُ النَّافِعُ، وَعِلْمٌ عَلَى
اللِّسَانِ فَذلِكَ حُجَّةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ.
(1162)Knowledge is of two kinds: the one lying
in man’s heart, i.e. beneficial knowledge, and the one being on (the tip of)
one’s tongue and, thus, being God’s proof for Adam’s sons.
العِلْمُ
خَيْرٌ مِنَ العَمَلِ، وَمِلاكُ الدِّينِ الوَرَعُ، وَالعَالِمُ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ.
(1163)Knowledge is superior to deed,
religion is founded on abstinence, and a (true) scholar is he who practices
what he knows.
العِلْمُ
أفْضَلُ مِنَ العِبَادَةِ وَمِلاكُ الدِّيْنِ الوَرَعُ.
(1164)Knowledge is superior to worship, and
abstinence is the basis of religion.
العِلْمُ
مِيْرَاثِي وَمِيْرَاثُ الأنْبِيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِي.
(1165)Knowledge is the heritage of me and my
predecessors (in prophethood).
العِلْمُ
حَيَاةُ الإسْلامِ وَعِمَادُ الإيمَانِ، وَمَنْ عَلِمَ عِلْمَاً أتَمَّ اللَّهُ
لَهُ أجْرَهُ، وَمَنْ تَعَلَّمَ فَعَمِلَ عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ.
(1166)Knowledge is the spirit of Islam and the
pillar of faith, and God will give perfect reward to s(he) who acquires some
sort of knowledge, and if s(he) happens to practice it, He will let him\her
know what s(he)knows not.
العِلْمُ
خَزَائِنُ وَمِفْتَاحُهَا السُّؤَالُ؛ فَسَلُوْا يَرْحَمكُمُ اللَّهُ فَاِنَّهُ
يُوجِرُ فِيْهِ أرْبَعَة: السَّائِلَ وَالمُعَلِّمَ وَالمُسْتَمِعَ وَالُمحِبَّ
لَهُمْ.
(1167)
Knowledge is
treasures, and the key to them is asking. So, question to gain God’s Mercy,
for God rewards four groups in so far as knowledge is concerned: seekers of
knowledge, teachers, listeners, and those who love the first three groups.
العِلْمُ لا
يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ.
(1168)Knowledge should not be stopped
(being learned or taught).
عِلْمٌ لا
يَنْفَعُ كَنْزٌ لا يُنْفَقُ مِنْهُ.
(1169)Knowledge without use is like unto a
treasure untouched.
عِلْمٌ لا
يَنْفَعُ كَكَنْزٍ لا يُنْفَقُ مِنْهُ، وَعَلى كُلِّ شَيءٍ زَكَاةٌ؛ وَزَكَاةُ
الجَسَدِ الصِّيَامُ.
(1170)Knowledge without use is like unto
untouched treasure. For everything there is a poor-rate, and for the body,
fasting.
