1857 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اَلصِّيَامَ لَيْسَ مِنَ اَلطَّعَامِ وَ اَلشَّرَابِ وَحْدَهُ إِنَّ مَرْيَمَ قَالَتْ «إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ صَوْماً » أَيْ صَمْتاً فَاحْفَظُوا أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ وَ غُضُّوا أَبْصَارَكُمْ وَ لاَ تَحَاسَدُوا وَ لاَ تَنَازَعُوا فَإِنَّ اَلْحَسَدَ يَأْكُلُ اَلْإِيمَانَ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ اَلنَّارُ اَلْحَطَبَ».
Hadith.1857 - Abu Basir narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that he said: "Fasting is not limited to refraining from food and drink alone. Indeed, Maryam said, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Merciful’ (i.e., silence). So, guard your tongues, lower your gazes, do not envy one another, and do not quarrel. Indeed, envy consumes faith just as fire consumes wood."
