حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَهَ بْنِ صَدَقَهَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع أَنَّ عَلِیّاً ع قَالَ: مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ وُلْدِ آدَمَ إِلَّا وَ نَاصِیَتُهُ بِیَدِ مَلَکٍ فَإِنْ تَکَبَّرَ جَذَبَهُ بِنَاصِیَتِهِ إِلَی الْأَرْضِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ تَوَاضَعْ وَضَعَکَ اللَّهُ وَ إِنْ تَوَاضَعَ جَذَبَهُ بِنَاصِیَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَکَ رَفَعَکَ اللَّهُ وَ لَا وَضَعَکَ بِتَوَاضُعِکَ لِلَّهِ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Harun b. Muslim from Mas’ada b. Sadaqah from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his father (a.s.) that Ali (a.s.) who said: Keep your head up. There is a lot of honor for you near Allah and you won’t be disgraced due to your humility.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص کُلُّ عَیْنٍ بَاکِیَهٌ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَهَ أَعْیُنٍ عَیْنٌ بَکَتْ مِنْ خَشْیَهِ اللَّهِ وَ عَیْنٌ بَاتَتْ سَاهِرَهً فِی سَبِیلِ اللَّهِ وَ عَیْنٌ غُضَّتْ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ وَ قَالَ ص طُوبَی لِصُورَهٍ نَظَرَ اللَّهُ إِلَیْهَا تَبْکِی عَلَی ذَنْبٍ مِنْ خَشْیَهِ اللَّهِ لَمْ یَطَّلِعْ عَلَی ذَلِکَ الذَّنْبِ غَیْرُهُ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “All the eyes will cry on the Day of Judgment except three – an eye which cried out of fear of Allah, an eye which remained awake for the sake of Allah and an eye which refrained from seeing what Allah has prohibited.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Tooba (Congratulations) be for the face to look at which is so nice whose eyes are weeping over sins committed by him that are not known to anyone.”

حَدَّثَنِی جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْکُوفِیُّ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ أَمِیرِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص طُوبَی لِمَنْ تَرَکَ شَهْوَهً حَاضِرَهً لِمَوْعُودٍ لَمْ یَرَهُ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Tooba (Congratulations) be for one who avoids lust today for the sake of those promised things he has not seen.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ali b. al-Hussain al-Kufi from his father from Abdillah b. al-Mughira from al-Sakuni from Ja’far b. Muhammad from his forefathers (a.s.) who said: “But for those who love each other, build mosques and repent at dawn, I would surely have chastised the people of the earth.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ یُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِی أَیُّوبَ الْحَرَّانِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع جُمِعَ الْخَیْرُ کُلُّهُ فِی ثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ النَّظَرِ وَ السُّکُوتِ وَ الْکَلَامِ- وَ کُلُّ نَظَرٍ لَیْسَ فِیهِ اعْتِبَارٌ فَهُوَ سَهْوٌ وَ کُلُّ سُکُوتٍ لَیْسَ فِیهِ فِکْرٌ فَهُوَ غَفْلَهٌ وَ کُلُّ کَلَامٍ لَیْسَ فِیهِ ذِکْرٌ فَهُوَ لَغْوٌ طُوبَی لِمَنْ کَانَ نَظَرُهُ عِبْرَهً وَ سُکُوتُهُ فکر [فِکْرَهً] وَ کَلَامُهُ ذکر [ذِکْراً] وَ بَکَی عَلَی خَطِیئَتِهِ وَ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ شَرَّهُ.

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “All the good deeds are hidden in three qualities – seeing, silence and speech. One who’s seeing is not a lesson is useless. One who is not a fountain of silence and deep thought is ignorant. One whose speech is not the remembrance of Allah is worthless. A person whose seeing is a lesson, silence is thought, conversation is remembrance of Allah, who cries over his sins and from whom people remain safe, is indeed fortunate (there is Tooba for him).”

Mahziyar who raised it to who said: “Soon a time will come when good things will rest on only ten things. Nine of them are keeping away from people and one is keeping silent.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَا یَزَالُ الرَّجُلُ الْمُسْلِمُ یُکْتَبُ مُحْسِناً مَا دَامَ سَاکِتاً فَإِذَا تَکَلَّمَ کُتِبَ إِمَّا مُحْسِناً أَوْ مُسِیئاً.
