8. He said: Abu Ja’far Muhammad ibn ‘Ali ibnal-Husayn ibn Babawayh - may Allah have mercy on him, reported from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim, from Muhammad ibn Isa ibn Ubaid, from Uthman ibn Isa from Sama’ah ibn Mehran, who said
I heard Abul Hasan Musa ibn Ja’far, peace be upon him, say: "Do not regard your good deeds as too many, and do not consider your sins as too few. Surely, sometimes those little lapses gather together to become many. And be mindful (fearful) of Allah, Most High, in your privacy, so that you are granted to treat yourselves justly. And hasten towards obedience to Allah, and be truthful in your speech, and return the deposits held by you to the rightful owner. These traits are good for you; and do not get involved in things which are not legitimate for they will do you harm!"
8 - قال: أخبرني أبو جعفر محمد بن علي بن الحسين بن بابويه رحمه الله عن أبيه، عن علي بن إبراهيم، عن محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد، عن عثمان بن عيسى، عن سماعة بن مهران، عن أبي الحسن موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام قال
سمعته يقول: لا تستكثروا كثير الخير، ولا تستقلوا قليل الذنوب، فإن قليل الذنوب يجتمع حتى يكون كثيرا، وخافوا الله عز وجل في السر حتى تعطوا من أنفسكم النصف ، وسارعوا إلى طاعة الله، واصدقوا الحديث، وأدوا الأمانة، فإنما ذلك لكم، ولا تدخلوا فيما لا يحل فإنما ذلك عليكم.
