Hadith 23

the one who suffices you with good of your wealth; what assists you upon your need is better than the one being patient upon it; one there is no escape for you from him, is more rightful. One who obeys a guide will not disobey you; and who loves the world will amass it for others; the act of kindness is an obligation; and the days are states; at the end of the afflictions the relief happens; one who were in the bounties will ignore the worth of the afflictions; one whose happiness is little, his comfort would be in the death; the little grows, so it multiplies, and the lot diminishes, so it goes away. Sometimes a meal prevents meals; the most winning of the people of an argument is one his adversary testifies to him with the success; the begging is a disgrace and the giving is love; one who digs a pit for his brother would fall into it; the worthiest controlling upon you is your tongue; good management with the sufficiency is the more sufficing with the extravagance. The immorality is like its name; with every gulp there is choking, with every eating (morsel) there is choking; in accordance to the happiness happens the distress; the personal desire collapses with the owner of the personal desire; enemy of the intellect is the personal desire; the night is most hiding of the woe; company of the evil people inherits the evil thoughts with the good people. One who frequents from a thing will be known by it; sometimes many are agitated by something small; sometimes a blamed on has no sin for him; the free one is free and even if the harm touches him; he does not stray, the one who seeks guidance, nor is he confused, the one who consults; the resolute one is not enslave by his opinion; grant safety from yourself to the one you trust with upon your secret; the cordiality between the fathers is a relationship between the sons’’.
