«3»- ن، عيون أخبار الرضا عليه السلام ابْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عليه السلام قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله لَا سَهَرَ ١إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ مُتَهَجِّدٍ بِالْقُرْآنِ أَوْ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ أَوْ عَرُوسٍ تُهْدَى إِلَى زَوْجِهَا.
«3»- n, 'Uyun Akhbar al-Rida, peace be upon him: Ibn al-Mughira, by his chain, from al-Sakuni, from al-Sadiq, from his father, peace be upon him, who said: The Messenger of God — may God bless him and his family — said: There is no wakefulness (1) save in three: one keeping vigil with the Qur'an, or one in the seeking of knowledge, or a bride being conducted to her husband.
نوادر الراوندي، بإسناده عن الكاظم عن آبائه عليهم السلام عن النبي صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله مثله بيان التهجد مجانبة الهجود و هو النوم و قد يطلق على الصلاة بالليل و على الأول المراد إما قراءة القرآن في الصلاة أو الأعم.
The Nawadir of al-Rawandi, by his chain, from al-Kazim, from his forefathers, peace be upon them, from the Prophet — may God bless him and his family — the like of it. Elucidation: al-tahajjud is the shunning of hujud, which is sleep; and it is sometimes applied to the prayer at night. And upon the first, what is meant is either the reciting of the Qur'an in prayer, or the more general.
«4»- ب، قرب الإسناد هَارُونُ عَنِ ابْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عليه السلام قَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ بِالسَّهَرِ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ.
«4»- b, Qurb al-Isnad: Harun, from Ibn Sadaqa, from al-Sadiq, from his father, peace be upon him, who said: There is no harm in wakefulness in the seeking of knowledge.
بيان: في بعض النسخ بالتهيم و هو التحير و مشية حسنة و لعل المراد التحير في البلاد أي المسافرة أو الإسراع في المشي و النسخة الأولى أظهر.
Elucidation: in some of the copies, "in wandering" — and it is bewilderment, and also a fair gait; and perhaps what is meant is wandering through the lands, that is, travelling, or swiftness in walking. And the first reading is the more evident.
«5»- ختص، الإختصاص قَالَ الْبَاقِرُ عليه السلام إِذَا جَلَسْتَ إِلَى عَالِمٍ فَكُنْ عَلَى أَنْ تَسْمَعَ أَحْرَصَ مِنْكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَقُولَ وَ تَعَلَّمْ حُسْنَ الِاسْتِمَاعِ كَمَا تَتَعَلَّمُ حُسْنَ الْقَوْلِ وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ حَدِيثَهُ.
«5»- khts, al-Ikhtisas: al-Baqir, peace be upon him, said: When you sit with a scholar, be more eager to listen than you are to speak; and learn goodness of listening as you learn goodness of speech; and do not cut off anyone's discourse.
«6»- نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عليهم السلام قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ فِي شَبَابِهِ كَانَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّسْمِ فِي الْحَجَرِ وَ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ وَ هُوَ كَبِيرٌ كَانَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْكِتَابِ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمَاءِ ٢.
«6»- The Nawadir of al-Rawandi, by his chain, from Musa b. Ja'far, from his forefathers, peace be upon them, who said: The Messenger of God — may God bless him and his family — said: Whoever learns in his youth, it is in the place of the engraving upon stone; and whoever learns when he is old, it is in the place of writing upon the surface of water (2).
«7»- نهج، نهج البلاغة قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام لِسَائِلٍ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ مُعْضِلَةٍ ٣سَلْ تَفَقُّهاً وَ لَا تَسْأَلْ تَعَنُّتاً ٤فَإِنَّ الْجَاهِلَ الْمُتَعَلِّمَ شَبِيهٌ بِالْعَالِمِ وَ إِنَّ الْعَالِمَ الْمُتَعَسِّفَ ٥شَبِيهٌ بِالْجَاهِلِ.
«7»- nhj, the Nahj al-Balagha: The Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, said to a questioner who asked him about a knotty matter (3): Ask for understanding and do not ask to confound (4); for the ignorant man who learns is like the knower, and the knower who is arbitrary (5) is like the ignorant.
«8»- وَ قَالَ عليه السلام فِي ذَمِّ قَوْمٍ سَائِلُهُمْ مُتَعَنِّتٌ وَ مُجِيبُهُمْ مُتَكَلِّفٌ.
«8»- And he said, peace be upon him, in censure of a people: Their questioner confounds and their answerer is affected.
