John Shaqi

إِنَّ أَسْرَعَ الْخَيْرِ ثَوَاباً الْبِرُّ وَ إِنَّ أَسْرَعَ الشَّرِّ عُقُوبَةً الْبَغْيُ وَ كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ عَيْباً أَنْ يُبْصِرَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَا يَعْمَى عَنْهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ أَوْ يُعَيِّرَ النَّاسَ بِمَا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ تَرْكَهُ أَوْ يُؤْذِيَ جَلِيسَهُ بِمَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Abu Najra, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The quickest Reward for the goodness is for righteousness and the quickest Punishment for an evil is for the transgression, and it suffices with the person as a fault that he sees from the people what he does not see from his own self, or he faults the people with what he himself has no capacity to leave, or he hurts his associate with what there is no meaning’.
