Arabic text

3-47 حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن يونس بن عبدالرحمن، عن أبي أيوب الخزاز، عنأبي حمزة، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: قال أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام: جمع الخير كله في ثلاث خصال: النظر، والسكوت، والكلام. فكل نظر ليس فيه اعتبار فهو سهو، وكل سكوت ليس فيه فكرة فهو غفلة، وكل كلام ليس فيه ذكر فهو لغو. فطوبى لمن كان نظره عبرة وسكوته فكرا، وكلامه ذكرا، وبكى على خطيئته، وأمن الناس شره

Translation

3-47 Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutevakil - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim quoted Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Yunus ibn Abdul-Rahman, on the authority of Abi Ayoob al-Khizaz, on the authority of Abi Hamzih, on the authority of Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) that the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) said,“All good is contained in three traits: looking, being quiet and talking. If one doesn’t get admonished when he sees things, he is in error. Not thinking when you are quiet equals ignorance, and any talk in which there is no remembrance of God is in vain. Blessed are those whose consideration teaches them lessons; whose silence causes them to think; whose talking is mention of God; who weep for their sins; and save people from their evil.”

Translation: Dr. Ali Peiravi — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
