Hadith 190
۞
Muhammad b. al-Hasan b. Ahmad b. al-Walid (ra) narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. al-Hasan al-Saffar narrated to us from Ibrahim b. Hashim from Isma`il b. Marar from Yunus b. `Abd al-Rahman from Abi Ayyub from Abi Hamza from Abi Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali al-Baqir (as). He said
Amir al-Mu’minin (as) said: All goodness is in three actions: sight, silence, and speech. Every sight that is devoid of consideration is negligence. Every silence that is devoid of thought is heedlessness. Every speech that is devoid of the remembrance [of Allah] is prattle. Blessed is he in whose sight is consideration, and in whose silence is thought, and in whose words is remembrance – who cries over his mistakes and from whose evil the people are safe.
6 - حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن إسماعيل بن مرار، عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن أبي أيوب، عن أبي حمزة، عن أبي جعفر محمد بن علي الباقر (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 فكرة، وكلامه ذكرا، وبكى على خطيئته، وأمن الناس شره (2).
