Hadith.5889 - Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, said to him
"O' Ali (as), do not consult a coward, for he will restrict you from finding a solution.
Do not consult a miser, for he will hinder you from reaching your goal.
And do not consult a greedy person, for he will make greed seem appealing to you.
Know that cowardice, miserliness, and greed are innate traits that are all rooted in having a bad opinion (of Allah (swt))."
5889 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ آدَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :
"يَا عَلِيُّ لاَ تُشَاوِرَنَّ جَبَاناً فَإِنَّهُ يُضَيِّقُ عَلَيْكَ اَلْمَخْرَجَ وَ لاَ تُشَاوِرَنَّ بَخِيلاً فَإِنَّهُ يَقْصُرُ بِكَ عَنْ غَايَتِك وَ لاَ تُشَاوِرَنَّ حَرِيصاً فَإِنَّهُ يُزَيِّنُ لَكَ شَرَهاً وَ اِعْلَمْ أَنَّ اَلْجُبْنَ وَ اَلْبُخْلَ وَ اَلْحِرْصَ غَرِيزَةٌ يَجْمَعُهَا سُوءُ اَلظَّنِّ".
