بِئْسَ الْعَبْدُ عَبْدٌ لَهُ طَمَعٌ يَقُودُهُ وَ بِئْسَ الْعَبْدُ عَبْدٌ لَهُ رَغْبَةٌ تُذِلُّهُ.


Translation

From him, from his father, from the one who mentioned it to whom it reached, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>: ‘The worst servant is a servant for whom there is greed driving him, and so also the is a servant for whom there is a desire disgracing him’.
