قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِرَجُلٍ أَتَاهُ أَ لَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَمْرٍ يُدْخِلُكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَنِلْ مِمَّا أَنَالَكَ اللَّهُ قَالَ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَحْوَجَ مِمَّنْ أُنِيلُهُ قَالَ فَانْصُرِ الْمَظْلُومَ قَالَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَضْعَفَ مِمَّنْ أَنْصُرُهُ قَالَ فَاصْنَعْ لِلْأَخْرَقِ يَعْنِي أَشِرْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَخْرَقَ مِمَّنْ أَصْنَعُ لَهُ قَالَ فَأَصْمِتْ لِسَانَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ خَيْرٍ أَ مَا يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِيكَ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْخِصَالِ تَجُرُّكَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ .
Translation
From him, from Al Haysam Bin Abu Masrouq, from Hisham Bin Salim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said to a man who had come to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Shall I<sup>saww</sup> point you upon a matter that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Enter you into the Pradise due to it?’ He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Give from what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Gave you’. He said, ‘Supposing I am more needy than the one I give it to?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘So help the oppressed’. He said, ‘And if I was weaker than the one I help?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘So, deal with the silly one, meaning, indicate upon him (his affairs)’. He said, ‘Supposing I was more silly than the one I do (this) for’. He said, ‘So silence your tongue except from goodness. Would it not cheer you that there should be a characteristic from these characteristics in you, pulling you to the Paradise?’.
