ا إِنَّ أَسْرَعَ الْخَيْرِ ثَوَاباً الْبِرُّ وَ أَسْرَعَ الشَّرِّ عُقُوبَةً الْبَغْيُ وَ كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ عَيْباً أَنْ يَنْظُرَ فِي عُيُوبِ غَيْرِهِ مَا يَعْمَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ عَيْبِ نَفْسِهِ أَوْ يُؤْذِيَ جَلِيسَهُ بِمَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ أَوْ يَنْهَى النَّاسَ عَمَّا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ تَرْكَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Abu Abdul Rahman Al A’raj and Umar Bin Aban, from Abu Hamza, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> and Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> both<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The quickest Reward for a goodness is for the righteousness, and the quickest Punishment for an evil is for the transgression; and it suffices with the person as a fault that he looks into the faults of others from what he is blind upon from the faults of his own self, or he hurts his associate with that which is meaningless, or he forbids the people from that what he himself has not capacity to leave’.
