يَا أَبَا النُّعْمَانِ لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ النَّاسُ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ فَإِنَّ الْأَمْرَ يَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ دُونَهُمْ وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ نَهَارَكَ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا فَإِنَّ مَعَكَ مَنْ يَحْفَظُ عَلَيْكَ عَمَلَكَ وَ أَحْسِنْ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ شَيْئاً أَحْسَنَ دَرَكاً وَ لَا أَسْرَعَ طَلَباً مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ مُحْدَثَةٍ لِذَنْبٍ قَدِيمٍ . عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي النُّعْمَانِ مِثْلَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Nu’man, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, from Abu Al Nu’man Al Ijaly, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘O Abu Al Nu’man! Do not let the people deceive you from yourself, for the matter will arrive to you besides them, and do not pass your day with such and such, as your are one who is preserving your deeds upon you. And perform good deeds, for I<sup>asws</sup> cannot see anything producing better results, nor anything easier as a remedy, than a new good deed for an old sin’. <span style="font-size: small">A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from one of our companions, from Abu Al Nu’man</span> – similar to it.
