قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَوْماً لِجُلَسَائِهِ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَجْزُ قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ الْعَجْزُ ثَلَاثَةٌ أَنْ يَبْدُرَ أَحَدُكُمْ بِطَعَامٍ يَصْنَعُهُ لِصَاحِبِهِ فَيُخْلِفَهُ وَ لَا يَأْتِيَهُ وَ الثَّانِيَةُ أَنْ يَصْحَبَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمُ الرَّجُلَ أَوْ يُجَالِسَهُ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ مَنْ هُوَ وَ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ فَيُفَارِقَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ ذَلِكَ وَ الثَّالِثَةُ أَمْرُ النِّسَاءِ يَدْنُو أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَيَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ وَ هِيَ لَمْ تَقْضِ حَاجَتَهَا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ فَكَيْفَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ يَتَحَوَّشُ وَ يَمْكُثُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمَا جَمِيعاً قَالَ وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِنَّ مِنْ أَعْجَزِ الْعَجْزِ رَجُلًا لَقِيَ رَجُلًا فَأَعْجَبَهُ نَحْوُهُ فَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ عَنِ اسْمِهِ وَ نَسَبِهِ وَ مَوْضِعِهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Ali Bin Ja’far, from Abdul Malik Bin Qudama, from his father, (It has been narrated) from Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘One day Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said to his<sup>saww</sup> gathered ones: ‘Do you know what is (one’s) weakness?’ They said, ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup> are more knowing’. So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The weakness is of three (types) – One of you hastens to prepare food for his companion, but he breaks his promise and does not come to him (to eat food); and the second is that the man from you accompanies the man, or sits with him, loving to know who he is, and from where is he, but he separates from him before he gets to know that; and the third is a matter of the women. One of you approaches his wife and depletes his energy without fulfil her need’. So Abdullah Bin Amro Bin Al-Aas said, ‘So how is that, O Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>?’ He<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> said: ‘He should hold back and wait until that comes from both of them together’. He<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘And in another Hadeth, Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> said: ‘From the most frustrating (of frustrations) is the frustration of a man who meets a man who is astounded about him, but he does not ask about his name, and his lineage, and his place (where he lives)’.
