١٢٣. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): طُوبَى لِمَنْ ذَلَّ فِى نَفْسِهِ وَطَابَ كَسْبُهُ وَصَلَحَتْ سَرِيرَتُهُ وَحَسُنَتْ خَلِيقَتُهُ وَأَنْفَقَ الْفَضْلَ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَأَمْسَكَ الْفَضْلَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَعَزَلَ عَنِ النَّاسِ شَرَّهُ وَوَسِعَتْهُ السُّنَّةُ وَلَمْ يُنْسَبْ إلَى الْبِدْعَةِ.
123. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: Blessed be he who humbles himself, whose livelihood is pure, whose heart is chaste, whose habits are virtuous, who spends his savings (in the name of Allāh), who prevents his tongue from speaking nonsense, who keeps people safe from evil, who is pleased with the (Prophet’s) sunnah, and who is unconnected with innovation (in religion).
