Hadith 16
۞
13.Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated from ʿĀṣim ibn Ḥumayd, from Abū Jaʿfar (a) whom
he heard saying, “Verily the good deed that brings the quickest reward is kindness, and the evil deed that brings the quickest punishment is unjust aggression. And it is sufficient as a flaw for a person to look at those faults in others which he turns a blind eye to in himself, and to censure the people for that which he is [himself] incapable of abandoning, and to disturb the one who sits with him by [discussing] that which does not concern him.”
النظر بن سويد عن عاصم بن حميد عن أبي حمزة عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
سمعته يقول: إن أسرع الخير ثوابا البر وأسرع الشر عقوبة البغى وكفى بالمرء عيبا أن يبصر من عيوب الناس ما يعمى عنه من نفسه وأن يعير الناس بما لا يستطيع تركه وأن يؤذى جليسه بما لا يعنيه.
