3-188 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Sin’an, on the authority of Ibn Miskan that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “
The misers are the ones most deserving to hope for everyone else to be rich, since then no one would ask them for anything. Those with faults are the ones most deserving to hope for everyone else to be perfect, since then no one else would find faults with them. Those who are ignorant are the ones most deserving to hope for everyone else to be patient, since they are the ones most in need of other’s patience to forgive them. Unfortunately, the misers hope for others to be poor; the faulty hope for others to be faulty; and the foolish hope for others to be foolish, while poverty brings about stinginess, faultiness causes finding faults with others, and foolishness brings about the commitment of sins.”
3-188 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن خالد، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سنان، عن ابن مسكان، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
إن أحق الناس أن يتمنى للناس الغنى البخلاء، لان الناس إذا استغنوا كفوا عن أموالهم، وأحق الناس أن يتمنى للناس الصلاح أهل العيوب، لان الناس إذا صلحوا كفوا عن تتبع عيوب الناس،وأحق الناس أن يتمنى للناس الحلم أهل السفه الذين يحتاجون إلى أن يعفى عن سفههم، فأصبح أهل البخل يتمنون فقر الناس، وأصبح أهل العيوب يتمنون معايب الناس، وأصبح أهل السفه يتمنون سفه الناس، وفي الفقر الحاجة إلى البخيل، وفي الفساد طلب عورة أهل العيوب، وفي السفه المكافأة بالذنوب
