My father (ra) narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us from Ibrahim b. Hashim from `Ubaydullah b. `Abdullah al-Dahqan from Darast b. Abi Mansur from `Abdullah b. Sinan. He said
Abu `Abdillah al-Sadiq (a.s.) said: Do not jest, or your light will dissipate. Do not lie, or your splendour will dissipate. Beware of two traits: (1) restlessness, and (2) laziness. If you are restless, you will not be able to bear a responsibility patiently; and if you are lazy, you will not be able to fulfill the right [of another]. He said: The Messiah (as) would say: He whose worries multiply, his body becomes ill. He who worsens his character, his soul suffers. He whose speech multiplies, his errors multiply. He whose lying multiplies, his splendour dissipates. He who disputes men excessively, his chivalry dissipates.
3 - حدثنا أبي (رضي اله عنه)، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن عبيدالله بن عبد الله الدهقان، عن درست بن أبي منصور، عن عبد الله بن سنان، قال
قال أبو عبد الله الصادق (عليه السلام): لا تمزح فيذهب نورك، ولا تكذب فيذهب بهاؤك وإياك وخصلتين: الضجر، والكسل، فإنك إن ضجرت لم تصبر على حق، وإن كسلت لم تؤد حقا، قال: وكان المسيح (عليه السلام) يقول: من كثر همه سقم بدنه، ومن ساء خلقه عذب نفسه، ومن كثر كلامه كثر سقطه (2)، ومن كثر كذبه ذهب بهاؤه، ومن لاحى (3) الرجال ذهبت مروءته (4).
