5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ‘Ammar ibn Musa who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) once said to me, ‘O ‘Ammar, if you like bounties bring you delight, kindness becomes complete, and the affairs of life well- organized you then should not associate with the slaves and the lowly persons. If you trust them, they betray you, if they speak, they lie to you. If you may suffer a misfortune, they leave you out. If they promise you, they disregard it.’”
5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَا عَمَّارُ إِنْ كُنْتَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَسْتَتِبَّ لَكَ النِّعْمَةُ وَتَكْمُلَ لَكَ الْمُرُوءَةُ وَتَصْلُحَ لَكَ الْمَعِيشَةُ فَلا تُشَارِكِ الْعَبِيدَ وَالسَّفِلَةَ فِي أَمْرِكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنِ ائْتَمَنْتَهُمْ خَانُوكَ وَإِنْ حَدَّثُوكَ كَذَبُوكَ وَإِنْ نُكِبْتَ خَذَلُوكَ وَإِنْ وَعَدُوكَ أَخْلَفُوكَ.
