١٥ - حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسرور (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا الحسين ابن محمد بن عامر، عن عمه عبد الله بن عامر، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن مالك بن عطية، عن أبي حمزة الثمالي، عن سيد العابدين علي بن الحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام)، قال: المؤمن خلط علمه بالحلم، يجلس ليعلم، وينصت ليسلم، وينطق ليفهم، لا يحدث أمانته الاصدقاء، ولا يكتم شهادته الاعداء، ولا يفعل شيئا من الحق رياء، ولا يتركه حياء، إن زكي خاف ما يقولون، ويستغفر الله مما لا يعلمون، لا يغره قول من جهله، ويخشى إحصاء من قد علمه. والمنافق ينهى ولا ينتهي، ويأمر بما لا يأتي، إذا قام في الصلاة اعترض، وإذا ركع ربض، وإذا سجد نقر، وإذا جلس شغر (٢)، يمسي وهمه الطعام وهو مفطر، ويصبح وهمه النوم ولم يسهر، إن حدثك كذبك، وإن وعدك أخلفك، وإن ائتمنته خانك، وإن خالفته اغتابك (٣).
Ja`far b. Muhammad b. Masrur  narrated to us. He said: Al-Husayn b. Muhammad b. `Amer narrated to us from his uncle `Abdullah b. `Amer from al-Hasan b. Mahbub from Malik b. `Atiyya from Abi Hamza al-Thumali from the Master of Worshipers `Ali b. al-Husayn b. `Ali b. Abi Talib . He said: The believer mixes his knowledge with forbearance. He sits down so that he may learn, he listens so that he may submit, and he speaks so that he may understand. He does not speak about that which he has been entrusted with, even to his friends. He does not fulfill a responsibility with vanity, and modesty does not leave him. When he is praised, he fears what they say, and he seeks Allah’s forgiveness for that which he does not do. He is not harmed by those who ignore him, and he is mindful of impressions of those who know him. The hypocrite forbids others but does not abstain for himself. He commands that which he himself does not fulfill. When he prays, he complains. When he bows, he slumps. When he prostrates, he pecks (prostrates quickly). When he sits, he spreads himself out. When he is going to bed, his only concern is food, even though he is full. When he wakes up in the morning, his only concern is sleep, even though he did not stay up during the night. When he speaks to you, he lies. When he makes a promise, he does not fulfill it. If you entrust him with anything, he betrays it. And if you disagree with him, he backbites you.
