Sayings of Imam Ali
You should hope for no one other than the Lord, not fear anything other than your guilt, not be embarrassed to say, 'I do not know' when you do not know, and you should not feel too haughty to learn what you do not know. These four matters are so great that it is so easy for you to ride for long time so as to get them

کسی از شما جز به پروردگار خود امیدوار نباشد و جز از گناه خود نترسد و اگر از یکی سئوال کردند و نمی داند شرم نکند و بگوید نمی دانم و کسی شرم نکند در آنچه نمی داند بیاموزد.این چهار چیز است که اگر برای آنها شتران را پر شتاب برانید و رنج سفر را تحمل کنید سزاوار است

 

Sayings of Imam Ali


 Imam Ali was asked the meaning of being well-off or well-provided for. Imam Ali
replied, "Your welfare does not lie in your having enormous wealth and numerous children
but it rests in your being highly educated and forbearing and in your being proud of your
obedience to Allah. If you do a good deed then thank Allah for it and if you commit a sin then
repent and atone for it. In this world there is a real welfare for two kinds of people, one is the
person who, when commits a sin, atones for it and the other is anxious to do good as much as
possible

و درود خدا بر او : ( از امام پرسيدند "خير" چيست ؟ فرمود: )
خوبى آن نيست كه مال و فرزندت بسيار شود ، بلكه خير آن است كه دانش تو فراوان و بردبارى تو بزرگ و گران مقدار باشد و در پرستش پروردگار در ميان مردم سرفراز باشى ، پس اگر كار نيكى انجام دهى شكر خدا به جاى آورى ، و اگر بد كردى از خدا آمرزش خواهى . در دنيا جز براى دو كس خير نيست:
يكى گناهكارى كه با توبه جبران كند ، و ديگر نيكوكارى كه در كارهاى نيكو شتاب ورزد.

 


Sayings of Imam Ali


 No wealth is more useful than intelligence and wisdom; no solitude is more horrible than when people avoid you on account of your vanity and conceit or when you wrongly consider
yourself above everybody to confide and consult; no eminence is more exalting than piety; no
companion can prove more useful than politeness; no heritage is better than culture; no leader is superior to Divine Guidance; no deal is more profitable than good deeds; no profit is
greater than Divine Reward; no abstinence is better than to restrain one's mind from doubts(about religion); no virtue is better than refraining from prohibited deeds; no knowledge issuperior to deep thinking and prudence; no worship or prayers are more sacred thanfulfillment of obligations and duties, no religious faith is loftier than feeling ashamed of doingwrong and bearing calamities patiently; no eminence is greater than to adopt humbleness; no
exaltation is superior to knowledge; nothing is more respectable than forgiveness and forbearance no support and defense are stronger than consultation

درود خدا بر او ، فرمود : سرمايه اى از عقل سودمندتر نيست ، و هيچ تنهايى ترسناك تر از خودبينى ، و عقلى چون دورانديشى ، و هيچ بزرگوارى چون تقوى ، و همنشينى چون اخلاقى خوش ، و ميراثى چون ادب ، و رهبرى چون توفيق الهى ، و تجارتى چون عمل صالح ، و سودى چون پاداش الهى ، و هيچ پارسايى چون پرهيز از شُبهات ، و زُهدى همچون بى اعتنايى به دنياى حرام ، و دانشى چون انديشيدن ، و عبادتى چون انجام واجبات ، و ايمانى چون حياء و صبر . و خويشاوندى چون فروتنى ، و شرافتى چون دانش ، و عزّتى چون بردبارى ، و پشتيبانى مطمئن تر از مشورت كردن نيست.
