إِنَّ الْقَصْدَ أَمْرٌ يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنَّ السَّرَفَ أَمْرٌ يُبْغِضُهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى طَرْحَكَ النَّوَاةَ فَإِنَّهَا تَصْلُحُ لِلشَّيْءِ وَ حَتَّى صَبَّكَ فَضْلَ شَرَابِكَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Al Sandy, from ja’far Bin Bashir, from Dawood Al Raqqy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The moderation is a matter which is Beloved to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, and the extravagance is a matter Hated by Allah<sup>azwj</sup> to the extent of the date-stone, It applies even to one’s throwing the stone inside the piece of a date; it can be useful for something, and to throwing the leftover of what you drink.
