Hadith 12

And he-asws said: ‘The human being is intellect and image. The one whom the intellect errs him and the image necessitates him, he would not be perfect, and he would be at the status of the one having no soul in him; and the one who seeks the familiar intellect, let him recognise image of the origin and the surplus, for most of the people are seeking the surplus and are wasting the original. The one who guards the original will suffice with it from (not having) the surplus. And the origin of matters is in seeking the Permissible for what one can spend, and the gentleness in the seeking, while the origin of the matters in religion is that one depends upon the Salats, and shuns the major sins, and necessitates that with a necessitation of what there is avoidance from it for the blink of an eye, and if you deprive it, it will perish. If you were to exceed it to the understanding and the worship, it is the good fortune. And the origin of the intellect is the chastity and its fruit is the disavowing from the sins; and the origin of the chastity is the contentment and its fruit is lack of grief; and origin of the helping is the strength and its fruit is the success; and origin of the intellect (deed) is the power and its fruit is the happiness. And one cannot seek assistance upon the times except with the intellect, nor upon the education except with the discussion, nor upon the ancestry except with the loyalty, nor upon the dignity except with the loving each other, nor upon the happiness except with the gentleness, nor upon the understanding one except with the generosity, nor upon the spending except by seeking the reciprocation, nor upon the humility except with the safety of the chest (heart). And every helping (supporting) is needy to the intellect, and every assistance is needy to the experience, and every loftiness is needy to goodly conversation, and every cheerfulness is needy to safety, and every relative is needy to cordiality, and every knowledge is needy to ability, and every ability is needy to exertion of effort. And do not expose (yourself) to what does not concern you by neglecting what does concern you; sometimes a speaker (speaking) out of place would be troubled by that’’. [11]
