Among the Concise Words of the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him)

923. hadíth

وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ آدَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "يَا عَلِيُّ لاَ تُشَاوِرَنَّ جَبَاناً فَإِنَّهُ يُضَيِّقُ عَلَيْكَ اَلْمَخْرَجَ وَ لاَ تُشَاوِرَنَّ بَخِيلاً فَإِنَّهُ يَقْصُرُ بِكَ عَنْ غَايَتِك وَ لاَ تُشَاوِرَنَّ حَرِيصاً فَإِنَّهُ يُزَيِّنُ لَكَ شَرَهاً وَ اِعْلَمْ أَنَّ اَلْجُبْنَ وَ اَلْبُخْلَ وَ اَلْحِرْصَ غَرِيزَةٌ يَجْمَعُهَا سُوءُ اَلظَّنِّ".

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, said to him: "O' Ali (a.s), do not consult a coward, for he will restrict you from finding a solution. Do not consult a miser, for he will hinder you from reaching your goal. And do not consult a greedy person, for he will make greed seem appealing to you. Know that cowardice, miserliness, and greed are innate traits that are all rooted in having a bad opinion (of Allah (swt))."
