قوله عليه السلام فالكل كواحد لعل معناه أن هذه الخصال كخصلة واحدة لتشابه مباديها و انبعاث بعضها عن بعض و تقوى بعضها ببعض كما لا يخفى.

his words, peace be upon him, "the whole is as one" — perhaps its meaning is that these qualities are like a single quality, on account of the likeness of their origins, the arising of some of them from others, and the strengthening of some of them by others, as is not hidden.

«26»- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عليه السلام قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عليهما السلام مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَقْلُهُ أَكْمَلَ مَا فِيهِ كَانَ هَلَاكُهُ مِنْ أَيْسَرِ مَا فِيهِ.

«26»- m, the Tafsir of the Imam, peace be upon him: from Abu Muhammad, peace be upon him, who said: 'Ali b. al-Husayn, peace be upon them both, said: Whoever's intellect is not the most complete thing in him, his destruction is from the easiest thing in him.

«27»- ضه، روضة الواعظين قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام صَدْرُ الْعَاقِلِ صُنْدُوقُ سِرِّهِ وَ لَا غِنَى كَالْعَقْلِ وَ لَا فَقْرَ كَالْجَهْلِ وَ لَا مِيرَاثَ كَالْأَدَبِ وَ لَا مَالَ أَعْوَدُ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ وَ لَا عَقْلَ كَالتَّدْبِيرِ.

«27»- dh, Rawdat al-Wa'izin: The Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, said: The breast of the man of intellect is the strongbox of his secret. There is no wealth like the intellect, no poverty like ignorance, no inheritance like discipline, no wealth more beneficial than the intellect, and no intellect like good management.

«28»- ضه، روضة الواعظين رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَسَاسُ الدِّينِ بُنِيَ عَلَى الْعَقْلِ وَ فُرِضَتِ الْفَرَائِضُ عَلَى الْعَقْلِ وَ رَبُّنَا يُعْرَفُ بِالْعَقْلِ وَ يُتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْعَقْلِ وَ الْعَاقِلُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَى رَبِّهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمُجْتَهِدِينَ بِغَيْرِ عَقْلٍ وَ لَمِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ بِرِّ الْعَاقِلِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ جِهَادِ الْجَاهِلِ أَلْفَ عَامٍ.

«28»- dh, Rawdat al-Wa'izin: It is related from Ibn 'Abbas that he said: The foundation of religion is built upon the intellect, and the obligations were imposed upon the intellect. Our Lord is known by the intellect, and recourse is had to Him by the intellect. And the man of intellect is nearer to his Lord than all those who strive without intellect. An atom's weight of the piety of the man of intellect is more excellent than a thousand years of the striving of the ignorant.

«29»- ضه، روضة الواعظين قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله قِوَامُ الْمَرْءِ عَقْلُهُ وَ لَا دِينَ لِمَنْ لَا عَقْلَ لَهُ.

«29»- dh, Rawdat al-Wa'izin: The Prophet — may God bless him and his family — said: A man's mainstay is his intellect; and there is no religion for one who has no intellect.

«30»- ختص، الإختصاص قَالَ الصَّادِقُ عليه السلام إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُزِيلَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ نِعْمَةً كَانَ أَوَّلُ مَا يُغَيِّرُ مِنْهُ عَقْلَهُ.

«30»- khts, al-Ikhtisas: al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: When God wishes to remove a blessing from a servant, the first thing He alters in him is his intellect.

«31»- وَ قَالَ عليه السلام يَغُوصُ الْعَقْلُ عَلَى الْكَلَامِ فَيَسْتَخْرِجُهُ مِنْ مَكْنُونِ الصَّدْرِ كَمَا يَغُوصُ الْغَائِصُ عَلَى اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمُسْتَكِنَّةِ فِي الْبَحْرِ.

«31»- And he, peace be upon him, said: The intellect dives for speech and brings it out from the hidden places of the breast, as the diver dives for the pearl concealed in the sea.

«32»- وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام النَّاسُ أَعْدَاءٌ لِمَا جَهِلُوا.

«32»- And the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, said: People are enemies of what they do not know.

«33»- وَ قَالَ عليه السلام أَرْبَعُ خِصَالٍ يَسُودُ بِهَا الْمَرْءُ الْعِفَّةُ وَ الْأَدَبُ وَ الْجُودُ وَ الْعَقْلُ.

«33»- And he, peace be upon him, said: Four qualities by which a man becomes a chief: chastity, discipline, generosity and intellect.

«34»- وَ قَالَ عليه السلام لَا مَالَ أَعْوَدُ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ وَ لَا مُصِيبَةَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الْجَهْلِ وَ لَا مُظَاهَرَةَ أَوْثَقُ مِنَ الْمُشَاوَرَةِ وَ لَا وَرَعَ كَالْكَفِّ عَنِ الْمَحَارِمِ وَ لَا عِبَادَةَ كَالتَّفَكُّرِ وَ لَا قَائِدَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ التَّوْفِيقِ وَ لَا قَرِينَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ حُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ وَ لَا مِيرَاثَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْأَدَبِ.

«34»- And he, peace be upon him, said: There is no wealth more beneficial than the intellect; no affliction greater than ignorance; no backing more reliable than consultation; no scrupulousness like restraint from forbidden things; no worship like reflection; no leader better than divine success; no companion better than goodness of character; and no inheritance better than discipline.

«35»- ما، الأمالي للشيخ الطوسي جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا الْقَاضِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ الْعَلَوِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الرِّضَا عَنْ آبَائِهِ عليهم السلام قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله حَسَبُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَالُهُ وَ مُرُوَّتُهُ عَقْلُهُ وَ حِلْمُهُ شَرَفُهُ وَ كَرَمُهُ تَقْوَاهُ.

Hamza al-'Alawi, from his father, from al-Rida, from his forefathers, peace be upon them, who said: The Messenger of God — may God bless him and his family — said: The believer's standing is his wealth, his manliness is his intellect, his forbearance is his honour, and his nobility is his God-fearing.

«36»- الدُّرَّةُ الْبَاهِرَةُ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الثَّالِثُ عليه السلام الْجَهْلُ وَ الْبُخْلُ أَذَمُّ الْأَخْلَاقِ.

«36»- al-Durra al-Bahira: Abu al-Hasan the Third, peace be upon him, said: Ignorance and miserliness are the most blameworthy of characters.
