الْمُؤْمِنُ يَصْمُتُ لِيَسْلَمَ وَ يَنْطِقُ لِيَغْنَمَ لَا يُحَدِّثُ أَمَانَتَهُ الْأَصْدِقَاءَ وَ لَا يَكْتُمُ شَهَادَتَهُ مِنَ الْبُعَدَاءِ وَ لَا يَعْمَلُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْخَيْرِ رِيَاءً وَ لَا يَتْرُكُهُ حَيَاءً إِنْ زُكِّيَ خَافَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ لِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ لَا يَغُرُّهُ قَوْلُ مَنْ جَهِلَهُ وَ يَخَافُ إِحْصَاءَ مَا عَمِلَهُ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Ibn Fazzal, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Abu Hamza, (It has been narrated) from Ali<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> having said: ‘The <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> is silent to be safe, and speaks to benefit. He neither discusses his entrustments of the friends nor does he conceal his testimony from the remote ones, nor does he do anything from the goodness for showing off, nor does he neglect the bashfulness. If he pays <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> he fears from what (the people) might be saying, and he seeks Forgiveness of Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> for the ones who are not knowing. The words of the ignorant one do not tempt him, and he fears the ‘counting’ of what he does’.
