149 149 Chapter 7 Unique Sayings and Pithy words Zayd ibn Aslam said: The commander of the faithful, ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, described the believer thus: The believer is strong in his religion, bold yet gentle. He believes with conviction, studies matters of religious practice, performs deeds with knowledge , and receives guidance with enthusiasm. He is kind yet firm, sensible yet gentle. His private parts do not rule him, and his belly does not shame him. He wearies himself by constant chiding, while never causing others unease . He does not indulge in malicious gossip, nor behave arrogantly. ʿAlī said: The most wondrous part of the human being is the heart. It has elements of wisdom, and others that are quite the opposite. If the heart is lifted by hope, ambition debases it; if ambition boils over, greed destroys it; and if disappointment takes hold, regret kills it. If aggravated, its rage runs rampant; and if made happy, it forgets to be circumspect. If fear takes hold, caution preoccupies it; and if safety is secured, heedlessness strips it away. If it gains property, the wealth makes it a tyrant; and if poverty touches it, it panics. If hunger emaciates it, weakness ensconces it; and if satiety is excessive , the surfeit oppresses it. Every deficiency harms it, and every excess injures it. whenever ʿAlī looked at the new moon, he would say:54 Obedient creature of God, revolving quickly and regularly through the stations of destiny, moving in the sphere of his steering, I place my faith in the one who illumined darkness and clarified ambiguity through you, who made you a sign of his dominion and a symbol of his authority.

words you by making you wax and wane, rise and set, illumine and eclipse. In all of this, you obey him and are quick to his will. God be praised! How marvelous is his planning regarding you! How sublime is his craftsmanship regarding you! He made you a key for a new month, for a new situation. May God render you a crescent of grace uneffaced by the passing days, and of purity undefiled by the passing years; a crescent of security from calamities , and safety from evil deeds; a crescent of felicity free of misfortune, of blessings free of adversity, of ease unmixed with hardship, and of good unpolluted by evil; a crescent of security and faith, bounty and virtue, safety and commitment. O God, of all the people over whom this moon rises, place us among those who please you the most. Of all who gaze at it, place us among the purest. Of all who worship you under it, place us among the happiest. O God, motivate us to repent, preserve us from misdeeds, move us to give thanks for your blessings, envelop us with health, and complete your favors upon us by perfecting our obedience to you. You are the best benefactor and the most praiseworthy. ʿAlī said about the rights of a learned man: You owe it to a learned man that you not bombard him with questions, dog him for answers, press him when he is tired, hold him back by his robe when he rises, expose his secrets, nor tell him tales about people. Moreover, you should sit facing him, and greet him individually when you come to his class before addressing others present collectively. You should preserve his secrets and defend him in his absence. Abide by this, as long as he preserves God’s commandments. A learned man is like a date palm; you can expect a date to drop on you at any moment. A learned man is worthier than one who fasts, prays, and fights in the path of God. when a learned man dies, Islam sustains a breach not plugged till the day of resurrection. when a learned man dies, his bier is escorted by seventy-seven thousand of God’s cherished angels. 7.4 152 152 ��‫ا‬� ‫ل‬�‫س‬��‫ل‬� � ‫ا‬ ‫ه‬�‫ي‬ �‫ل‬��‫ع‬ � ‫ه‬� ‫ب‬ ‫ط‬ �� �‫ا‬�‫ب‬ ��‫ل‬� �‫أ‬ ‫ا‬ ‫ح‬ � ‫ل‬��‫م‬�‫و‬��
