John Shaqi

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ احْذَرُوا أَهْوَاءَكُمْ كَمَا تَحْذَرُونَ أَعْدَاءَكُمْ فَلَيْسَ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَعْدَى لِلرِّجَالِ مِنِ اتِّبَاعِ أَهْوَائِهِمْ وَ حَصَائِدِ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Muhammad Al Wabishi who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Be cautious of your personal desires just as you are being cautious of your enemies, for there is nothing more inimical to the men than their following of their own personal desires and the harvest of their tongues’.
