قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ لِأَهْلِ الدِّينِ عَلَامَاتٍ يُعْرَفُونَ بِهَا صِدْقَ الْحَدِيثِ وَ أَدَاءَ الْأَمَانَةِ وَ وَفَاءً بِالْعَهْدِ وَ صِلَةَ الْأَرْحَامِ وَ رَحْمَةَ الضُّعَفَاءِ وَ قِلَّةَ الْمُرَاقَبَةِ لِلنِّسَاءِ أَوْ قَالَ قِلَّةَ الْمُوَاتَاةِ لِلنِّسَاءِ وَ بَذْلَ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَ حُسْنَ الْخُلُقِ وَ سَعَةَ الْخُلُقِ وَ اتِّبَاعَ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَا يُقَرِّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ زُلْفَى طُوبَى لَهُمْ وَ حُسْنُ مَآبٍ وَ طُوبَى شَجَرَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَصْلُهَا فِي دَارِ النَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ لَيْسَ مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ إِلَّا وَ فِي دَارِهِ غُصْنٌ مِنْهَا لَا يَخْطُرُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ شَهْوَةُ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَتَاهُ بِهِ ذَلِكَ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَاكِباً مُجِدّاً سَارَ فِي ظِلِّهَا مِائَةَ عَامٍ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ وَ لَوْ طَارَ مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا غُرَابٌ مَا بَلَغَ أَعْلَاهَا حَتَّى يَسْقُطَ هَرِماً أَلَا فَفِي هَذَا فَارْغَبُوا إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ فِي شُغُلٍ وَ النَّاسُ مِنْهُ فِي رَاحَةٍ إِذَا جَنَّ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلُ افْتَرَشَ وَجْهَهُ وَ سَجَدَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِمَكَارِمِ بَدَنِهِ يُنَاجِي الَّذِي خَلَقَهُ فِي فَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِهِ أَلَا فَهَكَذَا كُونُوا .
Translation
From him, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘For the religious people there are signs which they are recognised by – truthful narration, and the paying of the entrustments, and loyalty with the agreements, and helping the relatives, and mercifulness with the weak, and scarcity of expectation from women’, or said, ‘scarcity of the obedience to the women’, ‘and extending the goodness, and good mannerisms, and vastness of morality, and following the knowledge and whatever gets one closed to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic in position. Tooba is for them, as wells as the excellent end-result, and Tooba is a tree in the Paradise. Its roots are in the house of the Prophet Muhammad<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>, and there is none from a <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> except that in his house would be a branch from it. Not a desire would occur upon his heart except that they would come to him with that; and if a diligent rider were to run under its shade for a hundred years, he would not exit from it, and if a crow were to fly from its bottom it would not reach its top until it would fall down due to old age. Indeed! With regards to this you should be desiring (it). A <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> is pre-occupied with himself and the people are at rest from him. When the night covers upon him, he turns his face and prostrates to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic with the nobility of his body, whispering to the One<sup>azwj</sup> Who Created him, with regards to freeing his neck. Indeed! So this is what (you) should (also) become’.
