John Shaqi

قَالَ لَنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ تَجِدُ الرَّجُلَ لَا يُخْطِئُ بِلَامٍ وَ لَا وَاوٍ خَطِيباً مِصْقَعاً وَ لَقَلْبُهُ أَشَدُّ ظُلْمَةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ وَ تَجِدُ الرَّجُلَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ يُعَبِّرُ عَمَّا فِي قَلْبِهِ بِلِسَانِهِ وَ قَلْبُهُ يَزْهَرُ كَمَا يَزْهَرُ الْمِصْبَاحُ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Fazzal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Amro, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said to us one day: ‘You will find the man not erring with a ‘Laam; or ‘Waaw’ (letters of the Arabic Alphabet), an orator, eloquent, and for his الْقَلْبُ <span style="text-decoration: underline">(</span><span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline">Qalb</span><span style="text-decoration: underline">) </span>would be a darkness more intense than the night; and you will find the man not being able to express by his tongue what is in his الْقَلْبُ (<span class="iTxt">Qalb</span>), but his (<span class="iTxt">Qalb</span>) would be shining just as the lantern shines’.
