(2022)The fragrance of Paradise will not reach three groups of people: those who attribute themselves to other than their real fathers, those who tell lie about me, and those who belie what they have witnessed.

(2023)  The friends of the accused are the most entitled to be accused.

(2024)The gates of Paradise will be open to the truthful traders.

(2025)The generous is close to God, people and paradise but remote from Fire, and the miser is remote from God, people and paradise but close to Fire, and the ignorant generous is more beloved to God than the knowledgeable miser.

(2026)The generous practices generosity for thinking optimistically of God, and the stingy follow miserliness for thinking pessimistically of Him.

(2027)The good of a horse lies in its brown color.

(2028)The good of early men (of Islam) lied in abstinence and faith, and the annihilation of the people of the end of the times lies in stinginess and long desires.

(2029)The good of hear and the Hereafter in knowledge lies, and in ignorance the evil exists likewise.

(2030)The good-tempered, generous youth are more favorite to God than the bad-tempered, miserly old pious.

(2031)The Great and Powerful God loves three groups of people: those who rise (from sleep) at night, God’s Book to recite, those who settle people’s demands with charity hidden even from their own hands, and those who stand against enemy in battle while their friends manage to flee.

(2049)The Hour (Resurrection) is subsequent to the prevalence of three things: Constructions are ruined and ruins are settled in, good is considered as evil and evil as good, and trusts are played with just as trees are played with by camels.

(2050)The Hour has come indoor, and people’s greed for the world has grown more and more, but the world moves away from them all the more.

(2051)The Hour will not come until children turn out to be the cause of (their parents’) anger, the noble decrease and the ignoble increase in number, the youth become rude to the elderly, and the ignoble revolt against the noble.

(2052)The Hour will not come until man passes by a grave and wishes to be therein.

(2064)The knowledge not taught is a treasure not used.

(2065)The lawful and the unlawful are crystal clear, but between them lie dubious things of which most people are unaware. Whoever refrains from the doubtful will keep his faith and face intact, and whoever falls into them, will indulge in the unlawful, just as a shepherd who pastures his cattle around a preserved field might find himself on it. Know that just as a king has restrictions, the Exalted God has restrictions, i.e. what He has made unlawful. Know that in man’s body there is a lump of flesh which if rectified, the whole body will enjoy rectification, and if corrupted, the whole body will suffer corruption. That’s man’s heart’.

(2066)The lawful is what God has announced lawful in His Book, and the unlawful is too, and what He has left undecided, will be forgiven (if acted upon).

(2073)The least punished of people in the Day of Judgment are those on whose soles two flames of fire will be placed, which will make their brains boil.

(2076)The lonely of this world are the following four: the Quran in a tyrant’s memory, a mosque wherein its neighbors do not say their prayers, a holy Book kept in a house but not read, and a pious man among the impious.

(2077)The longer a Muslim’s life, the better for him.

(2078)The maladies of your predecessors such as envy and enmity have penetrated into your (souls), wearing away not your bodies, but your faith. By the One in whose hands Muhammad’s soul stands, you will not be allowed to Paradise unless you turn out to be (true) believers, and you will not achieve that save by loving one another. Shall I make you aware of something that would help you so doing? Greet each other.

(2088)The most beloved creatures to God are the unknown pious.

(2089)The most blasphemous and oppressive is the one who hears the Exalted God's caller to prayer and salvation, but gives no response.

(2090)The most capital sins on a liar’s tongue begin.

(2104)The most favorite sites of cities to God are mosques, and the most despised, are shopping centers.

(2105)The most graceful God will not reconsider what He has forgiven, when one commits an evil deed which He veils (from others) and forgives him for that in this very world.

(2106)The most hated creature of the Exalted God is the world. It is so much despised that He has not looked at it since its creation.

(2119)The most provident of people is the one who outruns others in controlling his anger.

(2136)The people of the Fire will neither enjoy life nor death, but those who have been put to Hell due to their sins, will die therein and as soon as burnt into coal, they will be led to (the righteous ones’) intercession and thus, they will be carried in groups and left at Paradise streams. Then, the dwellers of Paradise will be asked to pour water on them, and thus they will grow afresh as seeds left in the pathway of flood.

(2137)The pious bring good news and the impious, bad ones.

(2140)The prayers of the oppressed will be granted, though evildoers they might be, for their evil is their personal property.

(2141)The prayers of the oppressed, travelers and fathers (for their children) will without doubt be granted by God.

(2160)The richest of all people is the one who is free from avarice.

(2166)The sightless are not blind; the insightless are blind.

(2172)The slip of the learned will before long become overt, and that of the ignorant with his ignorance will be covered.

(2173)The son of Adam commits most of his sins through his tongue.

(2174)The son of Adam has an unavoidable share in adultery. Looking lustfully, listening to evil talks, uttering bad words, encroaching upon people’s property, walking in unlawful ways, having carnal desires and wants, and acting upon such desires while denying it are respectively the adultery of his eyes, ears, tongue, hands, feet, heart and privy parts.

(2175)The son of Adam hates two things: death which is better for him than sedition, and shortage of wealth which entails easier reckoning (in the Hereafter).

(2176)The son of Adam reaches old age but two of his traits grow young: greed for wealth and greed for life.

(2177)The son of Adam reaches old age with two things staying with him: avarice and ambition.

(2178)The statement, “I will take all my right and will not leave any part of it to anybody”, suffices to show one’s stinginess.

(2179)The steadfast pillars of Islam will collapse one by one. Whenever one collapses, people will hang onto another, with God’s commands being the first and prayers being the last to collapse.

(2185)The superiority of the learned over (simple) worshippers is like unto mine over the lowest among you (in rank). Verily, the Greatest and the most Powerful God, His angels, the dwellers of heavens and the earth, and even ants in their holes as well as fish, all pray for the one who teaches people the ways to goodness.

(2186)The superiority of the pious youth who have started worshipping God from early childhood over the aged who have done so only after old age is like unto that of the prophets over ordinary men.

(2187)The testimony of a Bedouin concerning a city dweller is not valid.

(2188)The thankless to people are thankless to God.

(2189)The treasures of good and evil are with God, and its keys are men. So, blessed is the one whom God has made the key to good and the lock for evil, and woe is the one whom God has made the key to evil and the lock for good.

(2196)The weakest of all people is the one who is incapable of performing worldly tasks, and the most stingy of all is he who hesitates to greet others.

(2197)The wicked have been created wicked in their mothers' wombs.

(2198)The wicked will not attain the status of the pious, just as thorns do not fruit grape. Thus, go whatever way you wish, for you will(finally) arrive at the rovers of the way you choose.

(2199)The wise are saved.

(2200)The wise tolerate the ignorant, forgive the cruel, show humility to inferiors and supersede superiors in doing good. They meditate before saying something-being it good, they express and enjoy it, and being it evil, they keep quiet and remain safe thereof.

(2201)The wisest of all people is the most moderate towards them.

(2202)The women who are pregnant or have children, who milk their children and are kind to them and who set prayers, will enter Paradise if they don’t treat their husbands badly.

(2203)The words of a judge amid two paths dwell, leading him to Paradise or Hell.

(2204)The world and whatever it possesses are damnable, save bidding to good and forbidding evil as well as the remembrance of God.

(2205)The world and whatever it possesses are damnable, save that in which the most Powerful and Glorious God’s consent is sought.

(2206)The world and whatever it possesses are damnable, save that which (is used) for God, the most Powerful and Glorious.

(2207)The world and whatever it possesses are damnable, save the remembrance of God and what it entails as well as teachers and learners.

(2208)  The world is a piece of goods, and the best in it is a pious wife.

(2209)The world is believers’ prison and unbelievers’ Paradise.

(2210)  The world is green and sweet. Whoever a lawful share of it earns and duly spends, will enjoy God’s reward and in Paradise will dwell, and whoever an unlawful share of it earns and unduly spends, will be made by God to reside in Hell.

(2211)The world is home for those without home and wealth for those without wealth, and unwise are those who amass wealth for worldly life.

(2212)The world is in the move. Your share of its benefits will reach you even if you are weak and your share of its losses you will not repel through your strength.

(2213)The world is sweat and green. Whoever takes of it a due share, blessed will it be for her (him).Many a man who plunges into their carnal desires and, in the Hereafter, no share will be theirs but fire!

(2214)The worst (form of) vilification is slandering people’s fame and the worst type of slandering is lampooning others, and the narrator of lampoons is considered among the slanderers too.

(2215)The worst among my people is he who undertakes judgment but does not consult in case of being doubtful about (a case), who is proud of himself for issuing a sound judgment, and who acts harshly when roused to anger. Whoever writes down cases of evil is like unto the one who acts upon them.

(2217)The worst food is the one served in feasts, to which the needless are called, not the needy.

(2218)The worst food is the one served in feats, to which the satiated are called, not the hungry.

(2219)The worst form of calamity is to be in need of what others have but refuse to give it to you.

(2220)The worst of all affairs is originating heresy, the worst blindness is blind-heartedness, the worst repentance is that of death time, the worst regret is that of Doomsday, the worst edible thing is an orphan's property, and the worst business is usury.

(2221)The worst of all people are corrupt scholars.

(2222)The worst of all people are those who are hard on their families.

(2223)The worst of all people are those who do not offer what they are demanded in the name of God.

(2224)The worst of all people is a double-faced man who encounters a group of people with one face (i.e. external behavior) and another group with the other.

(2225)The worst of all people is he who hates others and is hated by them.

(2226)The worst of all people is the one honored out of fear of his evil.

(2227)The worst of all people is the one who accuses God of having predestined (everything for his creatures).

(2228)The worst of all people is the one who barters his eternal life for his worldly one, and worse than him is the one who barters his eternal life for others’ worldly lives.

(2229)The worst of man's attributes are excessive envy and intense fear.

(2230)The worst of my people are the boastful, garrulous ones, and the best of them are the most good- mannered.

(2231)The worst of people is he who eats alone, without sharing his food with his servants, who beats his servants, and worse than him is the one who neither forgives a fault nor accepts any excuse, and even worse is he whose good no one is hopeful about, and from whose evil and malice no one can find a way out.

(2232)The worst place (situation) in the Day of Judgment will belong to the one who frightens people through his/ her tongue or evil (in this world).

(2233)The worst places to sit in are roads and bazaars (markets).

(2234)The worth of a Muslim’s properties is as much as his blood’s.

(2235)The worthiest (form of) worship is the most hidden one.

(2236)The worthiest of all people is the one who avoids interfering with what concerns him not.

(2237)There are four groups of people; namely, the munificent who feed themselves and others, the generous who feed others but not themselves, the miserly who feed themselves but not others, and the mean who neither feed themselves nor others.

(2238)There are no better characteristics than the following two: having faith in God and being beneficial to God’s creatures.

(2239)There are no sins like unto breaking the bonds of kinship, treachery and telling lie, for which the Exalted God will punish the sinners both here and in the Hereafter.The reward of keeping the bonds of kinship will be so quickly given to the one who acts upon it (in comparison to that of any other good deeds) that a corrupt family who observe it will (quickly) increase in wealth and number.

(2240)There are six good traits as follows: fighting God's foes with sword, keeping fast on summer's days, being well-patient when calamities befall, abandoning disputes, giving hidden charity; and making friends for God's sake.

(2241)There are things in Paradise not seen by any eyes, not heard by any ears and not felt by any hearts.

(2242)There are three books of deeds (for people’s doings): the book whose contents God will not forgive, i.e. the book of polytheism, the book to which God pays no attention, i.e. the book of man’s evils to his own soul, of which he and his Lord are aware, e.g. breaking one’s fasts and forsaking (obligatory) prayers which God will forgive should He will, and the book of which God will not forgive anything, i.e. men’s oppressing each other, which has to be retaliated.

(2243)There are three kinds of neighbors: a neighbor who has the least claim on you-only one, a neighbor who has two claims on you, and a neighbor who has three claims. The first one is the polytheist neighbor who merely enjoys the right of neighborhood but not that of kinship, the second one is the Muslim neighbor who enjoys the right of neighborhood as well as that of Islam, and the third one is the Muslim relative neighbor who enjoys the rights of Islam, neighborhood and kinship.

(2244)There are two kinds of debts: the one which man intends to repay, but before doing so he passes away, which I (the Holy Prophet) will compensate for, and the one which man intends not to repay upon passing away, which will be refunded through his good deeds in the Last Day when he has no Dinar or Dirham.

(2245)There is a right for a beggar, though coming on horseback.

(2246)There is no barrier between God and two sorts of prayers: the prayers of the oppressed and the prayers of one for his absent brother (in faith).

(2247)There is no barrier between Hell and three groups of people: those who twit others for favors, those with whom their parents are dissatisfied, and drunkards.

(2248)There is no calamity (trial) harder than polytheism for God’s servants; other than that, there is no calamity harder than blindness, and whoever is afflicted with it but keeps patient, would be blessed by God.

(2249)There is no charity better than (uttering) good words.

(2250)There is no charity more favorable to God than a word of truth.

(2251)There is no distance, save abandoning prayer, between a servant of God and polytheism, i.e.as soon as one abandons prayer, (s)he turns out to be a polytheist.

(2252)There is no intellect as wisdom, no abstinence as self-control, and no dignity as good-temper.

(2253)There is no malady worse than being stingy.

(2254)There is no organ(of the body) complaining not about the harms of the tongue.

(2255)There is no poverty harder than ignorance, no wealth more profitable than wisdom, no loneliness more frightening than vanity, no dignity as good-temper, and no worship as meditation.

(2256)There is no precious gift for a Muslim’s fellow than a piece of wise saying through which God brightens the latter’s way or from danger keeps him away.

(2257)There is no retribution quicker than the one for oppression.

(2258)There is no reward but Paradise for an accepted pilgrimage to Mecca.

(2259)There is no reward not saved by God, and no (true) deed not based on (good) intention.

(2260)There is no support firmer than consultation, and no faith like unto modesty.

(2261)There is no way to apology after death.

(2262)There was a businessman who always advised his young son to be merciful to the poor in hope of God’s Mercy. Then, he died, and God bestowed his Mercy upon him.

(2263)There will be times of anarchy prior to the Hour (the Resurrection).

(2264)They have the upper hand- women, I mean.

(2265)This evil suffices a man to be notorious in worldly or otherworldly affairs, save him whom God saves.

(2266)This religion shall be maintained by men who will not deserve any portion of Allah’s reward. At the last of the age of this world, there shall be swallowing up of the earth, casting from the heavens, and metamorphosis. This will take place when musical instruments and songstresses will spread and when the forbiddance of wines will be violated.

(2267)This religion will permanently be steadfast, and a group of Muslims will (always) fight for it to the Day of Resurrection.

(2268)This world compared to the next is like unto what one of you picks up from the sea when touching it with his/her forefinger.

(2269)This world is a ban for a spiritual man, and the next is a ban for a secular one, and this and the next worlds are forbidden for the friends of the Hidden.

(2270)This world is like unto a garment torn thoroughly, hanging on an almost parting string.

(2271)This world to the Hereafter is like unto sand to the sea.

(2272)This world’s duration is as long as seven days of the Hereafter.

(2273)Those servants of God whose neighbors are not safe against their evil, will not be allowed to Paradise.

(2274)Those sitting together in remembrance of God, will not leave before they are told, “Stand up”, for God forgave you and changed your evils to good.”

(2275)Those who are more learned than you, precede you in value.

(2276)Those who are under the reign of women will not reach salvation.

(2277)Those who bear false witness will be resurrected hung on their tongues in the Day of judgment.

(2278)Those who beautify false words will not be allowed to Paradise.

(2279)Those who call to prayer will be credited more than all people in the Day of Judgment.

(2280)Those who eat and thank (God) are like unto those who fast and keep patient.

(2281)Those who possess two Dirhams or two Dinars will have to bear a severer account than those having one Dirham or one Dinar (in the Day of judgment).

(2282)Those who pray and those who say `amen’ are equally rewarded. This is true with those who recite and those who listen to the Quran as well as with teachers and students.

(2283)Those who seek knowledge for God's sake are superior to the strugglers in His way.

(2284)Those who will be first called to Paradise are praisers of God.

(2285)Though the bad deeds of someone might go to extremes, s(he)as still his (her) eyes at his (her) disposal to shed tears (i.e. there is always an opportunity to repent).

(2286)Three groups of people will converse with each other in safety under the shade of the Divine Throne, while others are being called to account: those who do not fear the blame of blamers in matters divine, those who do not extend their hands towards the unlawful, and those who connive at what God has made unlawful for them.

(2287)Three groups of people will never be allowed to Paradise: men who connive at their wives’ unfaithfulness, women who pretend to be men, and drunkards.

(2288)Three groups of people will not be allowed to Paradise: drunkards, those who break the bonds of kinship, and those who approve of sorcery.

(2289)Three groups of people will not be allowed to Paradise: those with whom their parents are dissatisfied, those who connive at their wives’ disloyalty, and women who pretend to be men.

(2290)Three people have a claim on God to grant their prayers: a fast person till he breaks his fast, an oppressed person till he gains victory and a traveler till he returns home.

(2291)Three people pray to the Great and Powerful God, but their prayers are not granted: a man who has a bad-tempered wife and divorces her not, a man who entrusts his property to someone without calling somebody to witness, and a man who entrusts his wealth to silly persons; and indeed, the Almighty God has said, “Do not entrust your wealth to the silly.”

(2292)  Three people will converse with God in the Day of Judgment: he who refrains from tale bearing, he who never thinks of adultery, and he who does not allow usury in his job.

(2293)Three persons are beloved of God and three persons are hated by Him. The former are those who secretly help a man whose request (for the sake of God, not kinship) to a group of people is rejected, who stand up to prayer and recitation of the Quran in the dark of night when their companions in trip lie their heads on earth to enjoy their most favorite sleep, and who stand against enemy in war to kill or to be killed, while their friends manage to escape. The latter are the adulterous old, the arrogant poor and the cruel rich.

(2294)Three persons are loved by God, and three persons are hated by Him. The former are those who stand against an enemy to the point of death or victory for their friends, who walk on foot on a trip in the company of a group of people and at night, when they go to sleep, stand up to prayer till morning to wake them up for departure, and who tolerate their neighbors’ annoyance to the time when death or trip set them apart. The latter are the traders who swear a lot, the arrogant poor and the twitting misers.

(2295)Three persons gave charity in the following way and were equal as far as (heavenly) reward is concerned, for each of them paid one tenth of his property indeed: one diner out of ten Dinars, one Ukiah (equal to dirhams) out of ten Uqiahs, and ten gold Uqiahs out of hundred gold Uqiahs.

(2296)Three persons ruin religion: a wrongdoing jurisprudent, a cruel leader and an ignorant struggler in religion.

(2297)Three persons will not avenge three others: a free man, a learned man and a powerful person in respect to a slave, an ignorant person and a weak man respectively.

(2298)Three things are among the greatest moral values: forgiving the one who has oppressed you, being generous to the one who has deprived you (of something), and joining the one who has disconnected relations with you.

(2299)Three things are among the treasures of goodness: giving alms hidden, concealing calamity, and hesitating to complain (of me). God says: “When I make My servant suffer a disease, and he keeps patient, refusing to complain about me before his visitors, I will offer him flesh and blood better than his own. Thus, should I restore him to life, he will be freed from all his sins, and should I take back his soul, he will be led to My Mercy.”

(2300)Three things are among the treasures of goodness: hiding pains, calamities and diseases. He who publicize his calamity, patient can never be.

(2301)Three things are among the world’s blessings, although the world is basically bereft of any (real) blessings: a well-branded horse (or camel), a pious wife, and a big house.

(2302)Three things are characteristic of a hypocrite: s(he) feels happy when being among people, feels sad when being lonely, and likes to be admired in all his affairs.

(2303)  Three things are characteristic of a hypocrite: telling lie, breaking one’s promises and committing treachery in trusts.

(2304)Three things are hung up from the divine Throne: kinship which says, “O God! I am dependent on you, let me not be disconnected.”, trusteeship which says, “O God! I am dependent on you; let me not be violated.”, and blessing which says: “O God! I am dependent on you, let me not be subjected to ungratefulness.”

(2305)Three things are inherent in my people: suspicion, jealousy and divination. When suspicion came unto you, do not consider it true; when jealousy picks, from God forgiveness seek; and when you managed to presage disregard it and proceed in your passage.

(2306)Three things are necessary for every Muslim: Friday ritual bathing, brushing one’s teeth and applying odors.

(2307)Three things bring about blessings: time selling, lending money and mixing wheat with barley for consumption, not for bargain.

(2308)Three things bring happiness to a Muslim in this world: a pious neighbor, a vast house and a tamed horse.

(2309)Three things bring you prosperity and three things, adversity: the former being a pious wife whose presence makes you pleased and in whom you can trust as to her chastity as well as your property when you are absent from her, a swift animal which gives you a (quick) ride to join your companions, and a vast, spacious house; and the latter being a wife whose presence makes you displeased, who extends her tongue at you and in whom you can not trust as to her chastity as well as your property when you are absent from her, a slow animal which makes you suffer if you beat it and carries you not to your destination if you leave it on its own, and a small unspacious house.

(2310)Three things enlighten one’s eyes: watching green (plants), looking at current water, and catching sight of beautiful faces.

(2311)Three things follow a dead person, two of which to return and one to stay- family and property return and deeds stay with him/her.

(2312)Three things I know will definitely come true: the Exalted God will add to the dignity of the one who connives at the oppressions having been brought on him, will expand the poverty of the one who stretches his hand of need towards others out of excessive wishes, and will increase the wealth of the one who gives charity for the sake of God.

(2313)Three things lead to prosperity: controlling one’s tongue, shedding tears for one’s sins, and being good-tempered at home.

(2314)Three things make a servant (of God) realize his worldly and otherworldly requests: keeping patient in calamities, being pleased with one’s destiny and praying at times of prosperity.

(2315)Three things make of man a perfect being: fearing not the blame of blamers in matters divine, refraining from dissimulation in his actions, and preferring eternal affairs to worldly ones when they co-occur.

(2316)Three things originate from true faith: generosity in poverty, observance of justice (even if it brings you loss), and sacrifice in teaching for (the sake of) learners.

(2317)Three things purify your friend’s love (for you): honoring him in visits with greetings, finding him a seat in meetings and calling him by his best names.

(2318)Three things ruin and three things save you. They are respectively as follows: the misery acted upon, the passion being depended on and self-conceit, and fear of God in public and privacy, moderateness in wealth and poverty and justice in anger and pleasure.

(2319)Three things show one’s hypocrisy though one might set prayer, keep fast, and make minor or major pilgrimages to Mecca: telling lie, breaking promises and being treacherous to trusts.

(2320)Three things will finally come back to their holders (doers): oppression, deceit and breach of promises.

(2321)Throw dust at the flatterers’ face.

(2322)Thunder is one of the divine angels with mastery over clouds and with fiery scourges to push them wherever God wishes.

(2323)Times of discomfort here sweeps away times of discomfort in the Hereafter.

(2324)To be a (true) believer, wish for others what you wish for yourself, and to be a (true) Muslim, be kind to your neighbors.

(2325)To be loved by God, spread the love of Him among people.

(2326)To God, the most favorite food is the one which satiates many (in the neighborhood).

(2327)To God, the most High, the best hobbies are horsemanship, and archery.

(2328)To me, the most prosperous person is a believer who has less dependence, availing himself more of prayer, who enjoys sufficient sustenance with which he keeps satisfied till he joins God, who worships his Lord in the best manner and away from people’s sight, and who leaves less behind when he dies and less people offer him their cries.

(2329)To most people, two conditions are the best: health and rest.

(2330)To rich people pay less frequent visits, for appreciating God’s blessings brings you more benefits.

(2331)Tolerating a learned man is harder for Satan than that of a thousand worshippers.

(2332)Toleration entails abundance and blessing, and those lacking it are devoid of any good. Toleration is the basis of wisdom (indeed).

(2333)  Toleration is auspiciousness, and violation, inauspiciousness, and when God wishes good for the members of a family, He opens on them the gate of toleration, for it leads to adoration in everything it occurs, while violation is the cause of humiliation wherever it befalls.

(2334)Toleration is the basis of wisdom.

(2335)Touch the earth, for it is kind to you.

(2336)Traders await sustenance, and hoarders of foodstuff await (people’s) curse.

(2337)Trading wine is unlawful.

(2338)Transferring knowledge to incompetent people is like unto hanging pear and gold on pigs.

(2339)Travel to find health and sustenance.

(2340)Travel to find rest and riches.

(2341)Traveling is a piece of suffering.

(2342)Treachery results in poverty.

(2343)Treating people moderately is charity.

(2344)Treating people moderately is half of (one’s) faith, and being lenient to them is half of (one’s) pleasure.

(2345)Troubles, diseases and griefs are this world’s punishments.

(2346)True faith lies in advice.

(2347)Truth of the tongue leads to truth of the heart and that, in turn, leads to truth of one’s faith.

(2348)Truthfulness is a heavenly act. When a man tells the truth, he is led to do good which will (in turn) lead him to safety, and this will lead him to Paradise. Telling lie (on the contrary) is a hellish act. When a man tells lie, he is led to wrongdoing, which will (in turn) lead him to disbelief, and this will direct him to Hell.

(2349)Truthfulness is peace; lying is anxiety.

(2350)Try to be kind, for a kind person wants people to be at good and in abundance.

(2351)Try to get rid of sorrows for worldly matters, for he whose greatest sorrows turn round material concerns will receive more wealth but poor will he remain, and he whose greatest worries concern otherworldly issues will face the Exalted God’s management of his affairs as well as needlessness of his heart.

(2352)Two brothers are like unto two hands, one bathing the other.

(2353)Two characteristics do not dwell in a believer: avarice and ill-temper.

(2354)Two groups of judges will dwell in Hell and one in Paradise: the one who recognizes the truth and judges according to it will reside in Paradise, but the one who knows the truth and deviates from it knowingly as well as the one who judges unknowingly will both be the dwellers of Hell.

(2355)Two groups of people will be the most remorseful in the Day of Judgment: a man who has all possibilities at his disposal to acquire knowledge but he does not, and a man who teaches (some sort of) knowledge to others, thereby providing benefit for everybody who comes to know about it, save himself.

(2356)Two groups of people will lead people to righteousness or wickedness, should they turn out to be righteous or wicked themselves: scholars and rulers.

(2357)Two groups of people will not be bestowed the divine mercy in the Resurrection: those who break off relations with their kinsmen and those who mistreat their neighbors.

(2358)Two hungry persons will never be satiated: the seeker of knowledge and the seeker of wealth.

(2359)Two hungry wolves in a sheepfold are less dangerous to the sheep than ambition for position and wealth to a Muslim’s faith.

(2360)Two persons are preferable to one, three preferable to two and four preferable to three; so you have to gain the community of people.

(2361)Two sets of eyes will be safe against the fire of Hell: the eyes having shed tears out of God’s fear, and the eyes having remained awake to watch Islam and Muslims against unbelievers.

(2362)Two sorts of deeds differ widely (from one another): one with its pleasures gone and consequences left, and one with its hardships to vanish and rewards never to finish.

(2363)Two sorts of drunkenness (can (make you negligent: that of loving life (excessively (, and that of loving ignorance- and that’s when you do not bid to good and do not forbid evil.

(2364)Two things are amazing: a silly man’s wise sayings, which you have to welcome, and a wise man’s bad words which you should ignore.

(2365)Two things are penalized (by God) in this world: tyranny and ungratefulness to parents.

(2366)Two things entice me out of the world you love: sweet smell and women, but my utmost pleasure in prayers lies.

(2367)Two things I have left with you to stop you going astray: the Book of God and my way (of life).They will remain inseparable to join me by the Pool (on the Resurrection Day).

(2368)Two units of prayer by a married person weigh over eighty-two units by a bachelor.

(2369)Two units of prayer by a married person weigh over seventy units by a bachelor.

(2370)Two units of prayer by the learned weigh over seventy units by laymen.

(2371)Two units of prayer by the one who knows God (well) weigh over a thousand by the one who knows Him not.

(2372)Two units of prayer by the pious weigh over a thousand by the impious.

(2373)Two units of prayer set with brushed teeth weigh over seventy units unbrushed, one case of praying privacy is better than seventy cases in public, and a covert act of charity excels seventy overt ones.

(2374)Two(real) friends enjoy each other’s company.

(2375)Tyranny is of three kinds: one which God does not forgive, i.e. polytheism, God says,” Verily, polytheism is great injustice”, one which God forgives, i.e. peoplee’s oppressing their own souls (of which God) and they themselves are aware), and one which God does not ignore, i.e. people doing injustice to one another.

(2376)  Tyrants and their supporters (will be the dwellers) of the Fire.
