فَرَفَعَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع رَأْسَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ‏ وَ الْكاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ فَقَالَ لَهَا قَدْ كَظَمْتُ غَيْظِي قَالَتْ‏ وَ الْعافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ‏ قَالَ لَهَا قَدْ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْكِ قَالَتْ‏ وَ اللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ‏ قَالَ اذْهَبِي فَأَنْتِ حُرَّةٌ.

Ali Bin Al-Husayn raised his^-asws head towards her. The slave girl said, ‘Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: and the restrainers of the anger,’. He^-asws said to her: ‘I^-asws have restrained my^-asws anger’. She said, ‘and the pardoners of people;’. He^-asws said to her: ‘Allah^-azwj has Pardoned you’. She said, ‘and Allah Loves the good-doers [3:134]’. He^-asws said: ‘Go, for you are hereby free!’’[134]

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Ibn Al Barqy, from his father, from his grandfather, from Ja’far Bin Abdullah, from Abdul Jabbar Bin Muhammad, from Dawood Al Shaeery, from Al Rabie, companions of (caliph) Al Mansour who said,

‘(The caliph) Al-Mansour said to Al-Sadiq^-asws, ‘Narrate to me from yourself^-asws with a Hadeeth I can be honourable by it, and it would be a truthful rebuker for me from the destructive sins’.

فَقَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع عَلَيْكَ بِالْحِلْمِ فَإِنَّهُ رُكْنُ الْعِلْمِ وَ امْلِكْ نَفْسَكَ عِنْدَ أَسْبَابِ الْقُدْرَةِ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ مَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ كُنْتَ كَمَنْ شَفَى غَيْظاً وَ تَدَاوَى حِقْداً أَوْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُذْكَرَ بِالصَّوْلَةِ

Al Sadiq^-asws said: ‘Upon you is to be with the leniency, for it is a corner of knowledge, and control yourself during the means of power. If you were to do what you are able upon, you would be like the one who heals anger, or medicates the spite, or one who loves to be remembered with the influence.

وَ اعْلَمْ بِأَنَّكَ إِنْ عَاقَبْتَ مُسْتَحِقّاً لَمْ تَكُنْ غَايَةُ مَا تُوصَفُ بِهِ إِلَّا الْعَدْلَ وَ لَا أَعْرِفُ حَالًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ حَالِ الْعَدْلِ وَ الْحَالُ الَّتِي تُوجِبُ الشُّكْرَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْحَالِ الَّتِي تُوجِبُ الصَّبْرَ

And know that you, if you were to punish a deserving one, you will not be at the peak of what you being described with, except the justice, nor do I^-asws know of any state superior to the state of justice, and the state which obligates the thanks is superior than the state which obligates the patience’.

فَقَالَ الْمَنْصُورُ وَعَظْتَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ وَ قُلْتَ فَأَوْجَزْتَ الْخَبَرَ.

Al-Mansour said, ‘You^-asws have advised and have been excellent, and you^-asws said and were brief’ – the Hadeeth’’.[139]

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Al Hassan Bin Abdullah Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Al Hajjaj, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Nahwy, from Shueyb Bin Waqid, from Salih Bin Al Salt, from Abdullah Bin Zuheyr who said,

‘Al-A’ala Bin Al-Hazramy came as a delegate to the Prophet^-saww. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^‑saww! There are family members of mine. I am good to them, but they are bad (to me), and I am connecting with them, but they are cutting me off!’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهُ عَداوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ وَ ما يُلَقَّاها إِلَّا الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَ ما يُلَقَّاها إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ‏

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Repel (evil) by that which is best, So if there is enmity between you and him, he would be like your intimate friend [41:34] And none would receive it except those who are patient, and none would receive it except one with a mighty share [41:35]’.

فَقَالَ الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ إِنِّي قُلْتُ شِعْراً هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا قَالَ وَ مَا قُلْتَ

Al-A’ala Bin Al-Hazramy said, ‘I have said a poem which it better than this’. He^-saww said: ‘And what have you said?’

فَأَنْشَدَهُ‏

وَ حَيِ‏ ذَوِي الْأَضْغَانِ تَسْبِ قُلُوبَهُمْ‏		تَحِيَّتُكَ الْعُظْمَى فَقَدْ يُرْفَعُ النَّغَلُ‏

فَإِنَّ الَّذِي يُؤْذِيكَ منك [مِنْهُ‏] سَمَاعُهُ‏		وَ إِنَّ الَّذِي قَالُوا وَرَاءَكَ لَمْ يُقَلْ-

So, I prosed it, ‘And a salutation with the grudges reviles their hearts. Your magnificent salutation has raised the bastard. If they were to manifest good, then recompense with the like of it, and if they are being good to you of the narration, do not be deceived. That which they are hurting you, is its hearing from him, and that which they are saying, is behind you, not being said’.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ لَحُكْماً وَ إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ لَسِحْراً وَ إِنَّ شِعْرَكَ لَحَسَنٌ وَ إِنَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ أَحْسَنُ‏.

The Prophet^-saww said: ‘From the poem, there is wisdom, and from the explanation, there is sorcery, and your poem is good but the Book of Allah^-azwj is better’’.[140]

He^-asws said: ‘When it was morning, he^-as went. He faced a mighty black mountain. He^-as paused and said: ‘My^-as Lord^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Commanded me^-as to eat this!’ And he^-as remained bewildered.

ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَبِّي جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ لَا يَأْمُرُنِي إِلَّا بِمَا أُطِيقُ فَمَشَى إِلَيْهِ لِيَأْكُلَهُ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُ صَغُرَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَهُ لُقْمَةً فَأَكَلَهَا فَوَجَدَهَا أَطْيَبَ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَكَلَهُ

Then he^-as referred to himself^-as. He^-as said: ‘My^-as Lord^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, will not Command me^-as except with what I^-as can endure’. So, he^-as walked towards it in order to eat it. When he was near to it, it became smaller until he^-as ended up to it and found it to be a morsel. So, he^-as ate it and found it as the best thing he^-as had eaten.

ثُمَّ مَضَى فَوَجَدَ طَشْتاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ أَكْتُمَ هَذَا فَحَفَرَ لَهُ وَ جَعَلَهُ فِيهِ وَ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ ثُمَّ مَضَى فَالْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا الطَّشْتُ قَدْ ظَهَرَ فَقَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ مَا أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

Then he^-as continued and found a tray of gold. He^-as said: ‘My^-as Lord^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Commanded me^-as to conceal this!’ So, he^-as dug a hole for it and made it to be in it, and cast the soil upon it. Then he^-as continued on, and behold, the tray had appeared. He^-saww said: ‘I^-as have done what my^-as Lord^-azwj Mighty and Majestic had Commanded me^-as!’

فَمَضَى فَإِذَا هُوَ بِطَيْرٍ وَ خَلْفَهُ بَازِيٌّ فَطَافَ الطَّيْرُ حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ أَقْبَلَ هَذَا فَفَتَحَ كُمَّهُ فَدَخَلَ الطَّيْرُ فِيهِ

He^-as continued on, and there he^-as was with a bird and there was a falcon behind it. The bird circled above him^-as. He^-as said: ‘My^-as Lord^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Commanded me^-as to accept this!’ So, he^-as opened his^-as sleeve and made the bird to be in it.

فَقَالَ لَهُ الْبَازِي أَخَذْتَ مِنِّي صَيْدِي وَ أَنَا خَلْفَهُ مُنْذُ أَيَّامٍ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ لَا أُويِسَ هَذَا فَقَطَعَ مِنْ فَخِذِهِ قِطْعَةً فَأَلْقَاهَا إِلَيْهِ

The falcon said to him, ‘You^-as have taken my prey away from me, and I was after it for days!’ He^-as said: ‘My^-as Lord^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Commanded me^-as not to despair this one!’ So, he^-as cut out a piece of his^-as thigh and threw it at it.

ثُمَّ مَضَى فَلَمَّا مَضَى فَإِذَا هُوَ بِلَحْمِ مَيْتَةٍ مُنْتِنٍ مَدُودٍ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ أَهْرُبَ مِنْ هَذَا فَهَرَبَ مِنْهُ

Then he^-as continued. When he^-as went, there he^-as was with some dead meat, stinky, insect-ridden. He^-as said: ‘My^-as Lord^-azwj Mighty and Majestic to flee from this’. So, he^-as fled from it.

فَرَجَعَ فَرَأَى فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّهُ قَدْ قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ مَا أُمِرْتَ بِهِ فَهَلْ تَدْرِي‏ مَا ذَا كَانَ قَالَ لَا

He^-as returned and saw in his^-as dream as if He^-azwj Said to him^-as: “You^-as have done what you^‑as had been Commanded with. Do you^-as what is that which happened?” He^-as said: ‘No’.

قِيلَ لَهُ أَمَّا الْجَبَلُ فَهُوَ الْغَضَبُ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا غَضِبَ لَمْ يَرَ نَفْسَهُ وَ جَهِلَ قَدْرَهُ مِنْ عِظَمِ الْغَضَبِ فَإِذَا حَفِظَ نَفْسَهُ وَ عَرَفَ قَدْرَهُ وَ سَكَنَ غَضَبُهُ كَانَتْ عَاقِبَتُهُ كَاللُّقْمَةِ الطَّيِّبَةِ الَّتِي أَكَلْتَهَا

He^-azwj Said to him: “As for the mountain, it is the anger. The servant, when he is angry, does not see himself and is ignorant of his power from the mighty of anger. When he preserves himself and knows his ability, and his anger subsides, his end-result would be like the good morsel which you had eaten.

وَ أَمَّا الطَّشْتُ فَهُوَ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ إِذَا كَتَمَهُ الْعَبْدُ وَ أَخْفَاهُ أَبَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُظْهِرَهُ لِيُزَيِّنَهُ بِهِ مَعَ مَا يَدَّخِرُ لَهُ مِنْ ثَوَابِ الْآخِرَةِ

And as for the tray, it is the righteous deed. When the servant conceals it and hides it, Allah^‑azwj Mighty and Majestic Refuses it except that He^-azwj would Reveal it for him to be seen with it (by others), along with that He^-azwj has Treasured for him from the Rewards of the Hereafter.

وَ أَمَّا الطَّيْرُ فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَأْتِيكَ بِنَصِيحَةٍ فَاقْبَلْهُ وَ اقْبَلْ نَصِيحَتَهُ

And as for the bird, it is the man who comes to you^-as with good advice, so accept him and accept his advice.

وَ أَمَّا الْبَازِي فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَأْتِيكَ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَلَا تُؤْيِسْهُ

And as for the falcon, it is the man who comes to you^-as regarding a need, so do not despair him.

وَ أَمَّا اللَّحْمُ الْمُنْتِنُ فَهِيَ الْغِيبَةُ فَاهْرُبْ مِنْهَا.

And as for the stinky meat, it is the backbiting, so flee from it!”’[151]

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘There is no drop more beloved to Allah^-azwj than a gulp of anger a servant swallows, stirring in his hearts, either with patience or with leniency’’.[165]

(The book) ‘Misbah Al Sharia’ –

‘Al-Sadiq^-asws said: ‘The leniency is a lamp of Allah^-azwj, its owner gets illuminated by it up to his neighbours, and he cannot be lenient except the one Assisted by the light of Allah^-azwj and by the lights of recognition, and the Tawheed.

وَ الْحِلْمُ يَدُورُ عَلَى خَمْسَةِ أَوْجُهٍ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَزِيزاً فَيُذَلَّ أَوْ يَكُونَ صَادِقاً فَيُتَّهَمَ أَوْ يَدْعُوَ إِلَى الْحَقِّ فَيُسْتَخَفَّ بِهِ أَوْ أَنْ يُؤْذَى بِلَا جُرْمٍ أَوْ أَنْ يُطَالَبَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ يُخَالِفُوهُ فِيهِ فَإِنْ آتَيْتَ كُلًّا مِنْهَا حَقَّهُ فَقَدْ أَصَبْتَ

And the leniency rotates upon five aspects – if he happens to be honourable, he is humiliated, and if he happens to be truthful, he will be slandered, or he will call to the truth and he will be taken lightly with, or he will be hurt without any offence, or he will demand the right and he would be opposed regarding it. If you were to give each one of them his right, so you have got it right.

وَ قَابِلِ السَّفِيهَ بِالْإِعْرَاضِ عَنْهُ وَ تَرْكِ الْجَوَابِ يَكُنِ النَّاسُ أَنْصَارَكَ لِأَنَّ مَنْ جَاوَبَ السَّفِيهَ وَ كَافَأَهُ قَدْ وَضَعَ الْحَطَبَ عَلَى النَّارِ

And he meets the foolish by turning away from him, and neglecting the answer, the people will be your helpers, because the one who answers the foolish and suffices him has placed the firewood upon the fire.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ الْأَرْضِ مَنَافِعُهُمْ مِنْهَا وَ أَذَاهُمْ عَلَيْهَا وَ مَنْ لَا يَصْبِرُ عَلَى جَفَاءِ الْخَلْقِ لَا يَصِلُ إِلَى رِضَا اللَّهِ تَعَالَى لِأَنَّ رِضَا اللَّهِ مَشُوبٌ بِجَفَاءِ الْخَلْقِ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘An example of the Momin is an example of the earth. Their benefits are from it, and their harm is upon it; and the one who is not patient upon harshness of the people cannot arrive to the Pleasure of Allah^-azwj the Exalted, because the Pleasure of Allah^‑azwj is mixed with harshness of the people.

And the Prophet^-saww said: ‘I^-saww have been Sent for the leniency as a centre, and for the knowledge as a mine, and for the patience as a dwelling’’.[166]

62- مص، مصباح الشريعة قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ الْعَفْوُ عِنْدَ الْقُدْرَةِ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ تَفْسِيرُ الْعَفْوِ أَنْ لَا تَلْزَمَ صَاحِبَكَ فِيمَا أَجْرَمَ ظَاهِراً وَ تَنْسَى مِنَ الْأَصْلِ مَا أُصِبْتَ مِنْهُ بَاطِناً

(The book) ‘Misbah Al Sharia’ –

‘Al-Sadiq^-asws said: ‘The Pardoning during the power is from the conduct of the Messengers^-as and the pious; and the interpretation of the pardon is that you do not bind your companion regarding an apparent crime, and you forget from the beginning of what you had been hurt from him in the hidden.

وَ تَزِيدَ عَلَى الِاخْتِيَارَاتِ إِحْسَاناً وَ لَنْ يَجِدَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا إِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ غَفَرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ وَ زَيَّنَهُ بِكَرَامَتِهِ وَ أَلْبَسَهُ مِنْ نُورِ بَهَائِهِ لِأَنَّ الْعَفْوَ وَ الْغُفْرَانِ صِفَتَانِ مِنْ صِفَاتِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

And you increase the favours upon the choices, and you will never find any way to that except the one whom Allah^-azwj has Pardoned from and had Forgiven him whatever had preceded from his sins and what had been delayed and Adorned him with His^-azwj Prestige and Clothed him from the Noor of His^-azwj Glory, because the Pardon and the Forgiveness are two attributes from the Attributes of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic.

أَوْدَعَهُمَا فِي أَسْرَارِ أَصْفِيَائِهِ لِيَتَخَلَّقُوا مَعَ الْخَلْقِ بِأَخْلَاقِ خَالِقِهِمْ وَ جَعَلَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ لْيَعْفُوا وَ لْيَصْفَحُوا أَ لا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ‏ وَ مَنْ لَا يَعْفُو عَنْ بَشَرٍ مِثْلِهِ كَيْفَ يَرْجُو عَفْوَ مَلِكٍ جَبَّارٍ

He^-azwj has Deposited in the secrets of His^-azwj elites for them to conduct with the people with the morals of their Creator, and He^-azwj Made them like that. and let them be pardoning and let them be excusing. Do you not love that Allah should Forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [24:22]. And the one not pardoning from a mortal like him, how can he hope for the Pardon of the Subduing King.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص حَاكِياً عَنْ رَبِّهِ يَأْمُرُهُ بِهَذِهِ الْخِصَالِ قَالَ صِلْ مَنْ قَطَعَكَ وَ اعْفُ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَكَ وَ أَعْطِ مَنْ حَرَمَكَ وَ أَحْسِنْ إِلَى مَنْ أَسَاءَ إِلَيْكَ وَ قَدْ أُمِرْنَا بِمُتَابَعَتِهِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ ما آتاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَ ما نَهاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا

The Prophet^-saww said narrating on behalf of his^-as Lord^-azwj having Commanded him^-saww with these characteristics. He^-saww said: ‘Connect the one who cuts you off, and pardon the one who is unjust to you, and give to the who deprives you, and do a favour to the one who offends to you’. and we have been Commanded to follow him^-saww. Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: And whatever the Rasool gives you, so take it, and whatever he forbids you from, then refrain; and fear Allah, surely Allah is severe of the Punishment [59:7].

وَ الْعَفْوُ سِرُّ اللَّهِ فِي الْقُلُوبِ قُلُوبِ خَوَاصِّهِ مِمَّنْ يُسِرُّ لَهُ سِرَّهُ وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ أَ يَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَأَبِي ضَمْضَمٍ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا أَبُو ضَمْضَمٍ قَالَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ مِمَّنْ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَصَدَّقُ بِعِرْضِي عَلَى النَّاسِ عَامَّةً.

And the pardon is a Secret of Allah^-azwj in the hearts, the hearts of His^-azwj special ones, from the one He^-azwj has Divulged to of His^-azwj Secrets; and Rasool-Allah^-saww had said: ‘Is one of you unable from being like Abu Zamzam?’ They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! And who is Abu Zamzam?’ He^-saww said: ‘A man who was from the ones before you all. Whenever it was morning, he says, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I shall give in charity with my honour to the people generally’’.[167]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – Abu Khalid Al Kabuly who said,

‘Ali Bin Al-Husayn^-asws said: ‘I^-asws would have loved it if there was Permission for me^-asws, so I^‑asws could have spoken to the people’ – thrice – ‘Then Allah^-azwj can Deal with me^-asws with what I^-asws love’, saying (gesturing) by his^-asws upon his^-asws chest.

The he^-asws said: ‘But, it is a Determination from Allah^-azwj that we^-asws should be patient’. Then he^-asws recited this Verse: and you will hear from those who have been Given the Book before you and from those who are Polytheists, much annoying talk; and if you are patient and fear, then that is from the determined matters [3:186]’ – and he^-asws went on to raise his^-asws hand and placed it upon his^-asws chest’’.[168]

‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws heard a man insulting Qanbar, and Qanbar had wanted to respond to him. Amir Al-Momineen^-asws called out to him: ‘Shh, no, O Qanbar! Leave your insulter as humiliated, you will please the Beneficent and annoy the Satan^-la, and have your enemy Punished.

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘There was an idle man (jester) in Al-Medina, the people of Al-Medina used to laugh at his talk. One day he said to them, ‘This man has tired me’ – meaning Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws – ‘Nothing from me makes him^-asws laugh, and there is no escape from me to trick him^-asws into making him^-asws laugh!’’

قَالَ فَمَرَّ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَ مَعَهُ مَوْلَيَانِ لَهُ فَجَاءَ ذَلِكَ الْبَطَّالُ حَتَّى انْتَزَعَ رِدَاءَهُ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَ اتَّبَعَهُ الْمَوْلَيَانِ فَاسْتَرْجَعَا الرِّدَاءَ مِنْهُ وَ أَلْقَيَاهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ مُخْتَبٍ‏ لَا يَرْفَعُ طَرْفَهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ

He^-asws said: ‘One day Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws passed by and with him^-asws were two slaves of his^-asws. That idle (jester/clown) came until he snatched his^-asws cloak from behind him^-asws, (and ran away), and the two slaves pursued him and returned the cloak from him and cast it upon him^-asws, and he^-asws was still (un-reactive), not raising his^-asws eyes from the ground.

Then he^-asws said to his two slaves, ‘What is this?’ They said, ‘An idle (jesting) man making the people of Al-Medina laugh, and he gets fed (food) from them due to that’. He^-asws said: ‘Say to him, ‘O woe be to you! There is a Day for Allah^-azwj, the idle (jesters) will incur loss during it!’’[171]

‘It is reported that Musa^-asws Bin Ja’far^-asws presented his^-asws sons one day. He^-asws said to them: ‘O my^-asws sons! I^-asws am bequeathing you all with a bequest, so the one who preserves it would not stray being with it. A comer will come to you all making you hear in the right ear an abhorrence.

And in the Hadeeth: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, a caller will call out: ‘One whose Recompense is upon Allah^-azwj, let him enter the Paradise!’ It will be said, ‘Who are they?’ It will be said, ‘The pardoners of the people can be entering the Paradise without any Reckoning’’.[175]

Indeed! And the honourable manners of the world and the Hereafter are in three words from the Book of Allah^-azwj: Take to the pardoning and instruct with the act of kindness and turn away from the ignorant ones [7:199], and its interpretation is that you should connect the one who cuts you off, and pardon the one who is unjust to you, and give to the one who deprives you’’.[182]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ الِاحْتِمَالُ قَبْرُ الْعُيُوبِ- وَ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي الْعِبَارَةِ عَنْ هَذَا الْمَعْنَى أَيْضاً الْمُسَالَمَةُ خَبْ‏ءُ الْعُيُوبِ‏.

And he^-asws said: ‘The tolerance is the grave of faults’. And the Seyyid (Al-Razi) said, ‘And it is reported that he^-asws said in expressing about this meaning as well: ‘The reconciliation is the hideout of faults’’.[187]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ إِذَا قَدَرْتَ عَلَى عَدُوِّكَ فَاجْعَلِ الْعَفْوَ عَنْهُ شُكْراً لِلْقُدْرَةِ عَلَيْهِ‏.

And he^-asws said: ‘Whenever you are able upon your enemies, then make the pardoning him as an appreciation (thanking) for the power upon him’’.[188]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ عَاتِبْ أَخَاكَ بِالْإِحْسَانِ إِلَيْهِ وَ ارْدُدْ شَرَّهُ بِالْإِنْعَامِ عَلَيْهِ‏-

And he^-asws said: ‘Admonish your brother with favouring to him and repel his evil with the conferring upon him’’.[189]

وَ كَانَ ع يَقُولُ‏ مَتَى أَشْفِي غَيْظِي إِذَا غَضِبْتُ أَ حِينَ أَعْجِزُ عَنِ الِانْتِقَامِ فَيُقَالُ لِي لَوْ صَبَرْتَ أَمْ حِينَ أَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُقَالُ لِي لَوْ غَفَرْتَ‏.

And he^-asws said: ‘When can I heal my^-asws anger when I^-asws am angered? Is it when I^-asws am unable from taking revenge? It will be said to me^-asws, ‘If only you^-asws had been patient’. Or is it when I^-asws am able upon him? It will be said to me^-asws, ‘If only you^-asws had forgiven’’.[190]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ أَوَّلُ عِوَضِ الْحَلِيمِ مِنْ حِلْمِهِ أَنَّ النَّاسَ أَنْصَارُهُ عَلَى الْجَاهِلِ‏.

And he^-asws said: ‘The first compensation of the lenient of his leniency is that the people will help him against the ignorant one’’.[191]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ حَلِيماً فَتَحَلَّمْ فَإِنَّهُ قَلَّ مَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِقَوْمٍ إِلَّا أَوْشَكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ‏.

And he^-asws said: ‘If you cannot become forbearing, then pretend to be so, for scarcely does a man resemble with a people except he almost becomes one of them’’.[192]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ الْحِلْمُ عَشِيرَةٌ.

And he^-asws said: ‘The forbearance is a clan’’.[193]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ الْحِلْمُ غِطَاءٌ سَاتِرٌ وَ الْعَقْلُ حُسَامٌ بَاتِرٌ فَاسْتُرْ خَلَلَ خُلُقِكَ بِحِلْمِكَ وَ قَاتِلْ هَوَاكَ بِعَقْلِكَ‏.

And he^-asws said: ‘The forbearance is a covering curtain, and the intellect is a sharp sword, therefore conceal the weakness in your manners with your forbearance and fight your whims with your intellect’’.[194]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ الْحِلْمُ وَ الْأَنَاةُ تَوْأَمَانِ تُنْتِجُهَما عُلُوُّ الْهِمَّةِ.

And he^-asws said: ‘The forbearance and the tolerance are twins. They are a product of high courage’’.[195]

77- كَنْزُ الْكَرَاجُكِيِّ، قَالَ لُقْمَانُ‏ مَنْ لَا يَكْظِمْ غَيْظَهُ يُشْمِتْ عَدُوَّهُ.

(The book) ‘Kanz’ of Al Karajaky’ –

‘Luqman^-as said: ‘One who does not swallow his anger, his enemies will gloat (over him)’’.[196]

78- كَنْزُ الْكَرَاجُكِيِّ، قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ الْحِلْمُ سَجِيَّةٌ فَاضِلَةٌ.

(The book) ‘Kanz’ of Al Karajaky –

‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘The forbearance is a meritorious quality’’.[197]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ مَنْ حَلُمَ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ ظَفِرَ بِهِ.

And he^-asws said: ‘One who forbears from his enemy will be victorious with him’’.[198]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ شِدَّةُ الْغَضَبِ تُغَيِّرُ الْمَنْطِقَ وَ تَقْطَعُ مَادَّةَ الْحُجَّةِ وَ تُفَرِّقُ الْفَهْمَ.

And he^-asws said: ‘The severity of anger alters the logic, and cuts the substance of the argument, and scatters the understanding’’.[199]

– وَ قَالَ ع‏ لَا عِزَّ أَنْفَعُ مِنَ الْحِلْمِ وَ لَا حَسَبَ أَنْفَعُ مِنَ الْأَدَبِ وَ لَا نَسَبَ أَوْضَعُ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ.

And he^-asws said: ‘There is no honour more beneficial than the forbearance, nor any pedigree more beneficial than the etiquettes, nor any lineage lower than the anger’’.[200]
