3-11 أخبرني الخليل بن أحمد السجزي القاضي قال: أخبرنا ابن صاعد قال حدثنا يوسف بن موسى القطان، وأحمد بن منصور بن سيار قالا: حدثنا أحمد بن يونس قال: حدثنا أيوب بن عتبة، عن الفضل بن بكير العبدي قال: حدثنا قتادة، عن أنس، عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله قال: ثلاث مهلكات، وثلاث منجيات، فالمنجيات خشية الله عز وجل في السر والعلانية، والقصد في الغنى والفقر، والعدل في الرضا والغضب. والثلاث المهلكات شح مطاع، وهو متبع، وإعجاب المرء بنفسهو قد روي حديث آخر عن الصادق عليه السلام أنه قال: الشح المطاع سوء الظن بالله عز وجل. وقد آخر جته مسندا في كتاب معاني الاخبار

Translation

3-11 The judge al-Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Sejezy narrated that Ibn Sa’ed quoted Yusuf ibn Musa al-Qat’tan and Ahmad ibn Mansoor ibn Sayyar, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Yunus, on the authority of Ayoob ibn Atabat, on the authority of Al-Fazl ibn Bakir al-Abdi , on the authority of Qatadah, on the authority of Anas that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “There are three things which destroy and three things which save. As for the three things which save, they are fearing the Honorable the Exalted God in private and in public; moderation in times of poverty and affluence; and speaking fairly whether you are pleased or angry. As for the three things which destroy, they are being really stingy; following one’s selfish desires; and being haughty and selfish.”In another tradition that has been narrated on the authority of Imam as-Sadiq (MGB), we read, “Being really stingy implies being suspicious of the Honorable the Exalted God.” I have presented the chain of narrations of this tradition in the book Ma’ani al-Akhbar.
