The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The bane of humour is lack of shame; the bane of courage is aggression; the bane of generosity is mentioning ones favors to others; the bane of beauty is arrogance; the bane of worship is abeyance; the bane of speech is lying; the bane of knowledge is forgetfulness; the bane of wisdom is foolishness; the bane of good lineage is pride; and the bane of liberality is wastefulness.
رسولُ اللّه (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): آفةُ الظَّرْفِ الصَّلَفُ، وآفةُ الشَّجاعةِ البغيُ، وآفةُ السَّماحةِ المَنُّ، وآفةُ الجَمالِ الخُيَلاءُ، وآفةُ العِبادةِ الفَتْرةُ، وآفةُ الحديثِ الكِذبُ، وآفةُ العلمِ النِّسْيانُ، وآفةُ الحِلمِ السَّفَةُ، وآفةُ الحَسَبِ الفَخْرُ، وآفه الجُودِ السَّرَفُ .
