٢٠٤. وَقَالَ (عليه السلام): لَا يُزَهِّدَنَّكَ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ مَنْ لَا يَشْكُرُهُ لَكَ، فَقَدْ يَشْكُرُكَ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ لَا يَسْتَمْتِعُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُ، وَقَدْ تُدْرِكُ مِنْ شُكْرِ الشَّاكِرِ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَضَاعَ الْكَافِرُ ﴿وَاللهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ﴾.
Translation
204. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: If someone is not grateful to you, that should not prevent you from good actions, because (possibly) such a person will feel grateful about it who has not even drawn any benefit from it, and his gratefulness will be more than the ingratitude of the denier; And Allāh loves those who do good. (Qur’ān, 3:134,148; 5:93)
