سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ أَحْسِنُوا جِوَارَ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ وَ احْذَرُوا أَنْ تَنْتَقِلَ عَنْكُمْ إِلَى غَيْرِكُمْ أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَمْ تَنْتَقِلْ عَنْ أَحَدٍ قَطُّ فَكَادَتْ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ قَلَّ مَا أَدْبَرَ شَيْءٌ فَأَقْبَلَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Zayd Al Shahaam who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Do good in the vicinity of the Bounty of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and be cautious of it being transferred away from you to others. But, it does not get transferred away from anyone at all so it almost never returns to him’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And Ali<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘Rare it is for something which turns away, so it faces you (again)’.
