The Sayings And Preaching of Al-Imam Ali (p.b.u.h)
Hadith n. 221
221. Amir a’-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: The worst provision for the Day of Judgement is high-handedness over people.
Hadith n. 222
222. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: The highest act of a noble person is to ignore what he knows.
Hadith n. 223
223. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: Whomever modesty clothes with its dress people cannot see his defects. 53
Hadith n. 224
224. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: Excess of silence produces awe; justice results in more close friends; generosity heightens position; with humility blessings abound in plenty; by facing hardships leadership is achieved; by just behaviour the adversary is overpowered; and with forbearance against a fool there is increase of one’s supporters against him.
Hadith n. 225
225. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: It is strange that the jealous do not feel jealous about bodily health. 54
Hadith n. 226
226. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: The greedy is in the shackles of disgrace.
Hadith n. 227
227. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, was asked about belief (iman) when he said: Belief means appreciation with the heart, acknowledgement with the tongue, and action with the limbs.
Hadith n. 228
228. Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, said: He who is sorrowful for this world is in fact displeased with the dispensation of Allah. He who complains of a calamity that befalls him complains of his Lord (Allah). He who approaches a rich man and bends before him on account of his riches then two-third of his religion is gone. If a man reads the Qur’an and on dying goes to Hell then it means that he was among those who treated Divine verses with mockery. If a man’s heart gets attached to the world, then it catches three things, namely worry that never leaves him, greed that does not abandon him and desire which he never fulfils.
