6.Muḥammad ibn Sinān narrated from Abū ʿAmmār Bayyāʿ al-Aksiyah,[1] from al-Zaydī, from Abū Arākah who said
“I heard ʿAlī (a) say, ‘Verily Allah has some servants whose hearts have been humbled by the awe of Allah, so they abstain from speech despite being eloquent, articulate, wise, and noble. They race towards Him with pure actions, not considering their numerous [good] deeds to be much, nor being satisfied with [only] little. They consider themselves to be vile while they are [truly] sagacious and virtuous.’”
محمد بن سنان عن أبي عمار بياع الأكسية عن الزيدي عن أبي أراكة قال
سمعت عليا عليه السلام يقول: إن لله عبادا كسرت قلوبهم خشية الله فاستنكفوا عن المنطق وانهم لفصحاء بلغاء ألباء نبلاء يستبقون إليه بالاعمال الزاكية لا يستكثر ون له كثير ولا يرضون له القليل يرون أنفسهم انهم شرار وانهم الا كياس الأبرار.
