The Blessings
وَ الْحَيَاءُ وَ ضِدَّهَا الْجَلَعَ وَ الْقَصْدُ وَ ضِدَّهُ الْعُدْوَانَ وَ الرَّاحَةُ وَ ضِدَّهَا التَّعَبَ وَ السُّهُولَةُ وَ ضِدَّهَا الصُّعُوبَةَ وَ الْبَرَكَةُ وَ ضِدَّهَا الْمَحْقَ وَ الْعَافِيَةُ وَ ضِدَّهَا الْبَلَاءَ وَ الْقَوَامُ وَ ضِدَّهُ الْمُكَاثَرَةَ وَ الْحِكْمَةُ وَ ضِدَّهَا الْهَوَاءَ وَ الْوَقَارُ وَ ضِدَّهُ الْخِفَّةَ وَ السَّعَادَةُ وَ ضِدَّهَا الشَّقَاوَةَ
(In a lengthy Hadith, 6th Imam-asws says): ‘And the bashfulness, and its opposite is the indiscreet; and the moderation, and its opposite is the indulgence; and the rest, and its opposite is the exhaustion; and the ease, and its opposite is the difficulty; and ‘الْبَرَكَةُ’ the Blessings, and its opposite is the annihilation; and the well-being, and its opposite is the calamity; and the straightness (an extract)’.[1]
