1.Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn Ḥātim ibn Abī Ḥātim [1] narrated to us saying, “We were informed by al-Ḥusayn ibn Saʿīd ibn Ḥammād, from al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Mukhtār who said, ‘One of our companions narrated to me from Abū Jaʿfar (a) who said
“It is sufficient as a flaw in a person that he sees those faults in others which he is blind to [and disregards] in himself, or that he should fault other people for a matter which is also in himself, and which he cannot turn away from; and that he disturbs the one who sits with him by [discussing] that which does not concern [or benefit] him.”’”
حدثنا أبو الحسن علي بن حاتم بن أبي حاتم قال: أخبرنا الحسين بن سعيد بن حماد (عن حماد) عن الحسين بن المختار قال: حدثني بعض أصحابنا عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
كفى بالمرء عيبا ان يبصر من عيوب الناس ما يعمى عنه من أمر نفسه أو يعيب على الناس أمرا هو فيه لا يستطيع التحول عنه إلى غيره وان يؤذى جليسه بما لا يعنيه.
