[Machine] The tourist said to his companion, "Enter the village and buy me a shroud, for I am dead, so hurry." The companion entered the village and found out that one of the village's prominent figures had passed away. The people gathered at his grave and closed their shops. The companion realized that he couldn't buy what he was instructed to buy, so he returned to his friend and bought a shroud and a burial garment. When he returned, he found out that his friend had also passed away and his face had been eaten by a lion. He became anguished and lamented, saying, "As for so-and-so, the tyrant, he was shrouded and buried. But as for so-and-so, his face was eaten." It was said that as for so-and-so, the tyrant, he had only one good deed, so Allah wanted him out of this world as he had no share in the hereafter. However, as for so-and-so, the tourist, he had done much good, so Allah took him out of this world without him feeling any pain.  

السَّائِحُ لِرِدْئِهِ ادْخُلِ الْقَرْيَةَ فَاشْتَرِ لِي كَفَنًا فَإِنِّي السَّاعَةَ يَعْنِي مَيْتًا وَعَجِّلْ فَدَخَلَ الرِّدْءُ فَإِذَا بِعَظِيمٍ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْقَرْيَةِ قَدْ تُوُفِّيَ فَاحْتَشَدَ النَّاسُ فِي قُبْرَانِهِ فَأَغْلَقُوا [85] حَوَانِيتَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرِ الرِّدْءُ عَلَى مَا يَشْتَرِي حَتَّى رَجَعَ النَّاسُ فَاشْتَرَى كَفَنًا وَحِنَاطًا فَرَجَعَ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ فَإِذَا بِهِ قَدْ تُوُفِّيَ وَأَكَلَ السَّبُعُ وَجْهَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَتَلَهَّفُ وَيَتَحَسَّرُ؛ قَالَ أَمَّا فُلَانٌ الْجَبَّارُ فَكُفِّنَ وَحُنِّطَ وَدُفِنَ وَأَمَّا فُلَانٌ فَأُكِلَ وَجْهُهُ فَقِيلَ أَمَّا فُلَانٌ الْجَبَّارُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِلَّا حَسَنَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ ﷻ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَلَيْسَ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ نَصِيبٌ وَأَمَّا فُلَانٌ السَّائِحُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ عَمِلَ عُمَيْلًا فَأَخَرَجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَهُوَ لَا يَجِدُ أَلَمَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The tourist covered his nose with his robe due to the smell of fish and the king did the same as the tourist. The tourist asked the king why he did that and the king replied, "I was ordered to do as you do." The tourist asked the king if he also smelled a scent like he did. The king replied, "No, nothing bothers us except the smell of the infidel."  

السَّائِحُ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ بِثَوْبِهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْجِيفَةِ وَصَنَعَ الْمَلَكُ مِثْلَمَا صَنَعَ السَّائِحُ فَقَالَ لَهُ السَّائِحُ لِمَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ كَمَا تَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ لَهُ السَّائِحُ أَمَا وَجَدْتَ رِيحًا كَمَا وَجَدْتُ أَنَا؟ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ لَا لَيْسَ يُؤْذِينَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا رِيحُ الْكَافِرِ  

[Machine] "A man was on the walls of Beit al-Maqdis and he had two sons. They reached the age of maturity and began fooling around with women, and he did not reprimand them. So, by my honor, I swore that I would kill all three of them in one day, and I would bring poverty upon his family afterwards."  

«أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ عَلَى مَجَامِرِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَكَانَ لَهُ ابْنَانِ فَبَلَغَا فَجَعَلَا يَعْبَثَانِ بِالنِّسَاءِ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ عَلَيْهِمَا فَبِعِزَّتِي حَلَفْتُ لَأُمِيتَنَّهُمْ ثَلَاثَتَهُمْ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلَأُسَلِّطَنَّ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ بَعْدَهُ الْفَقْرَ»  

[Machine] "That Satan cursed by Allah approached a traveler and wanted him, but he couldn't do anything to him. So he said to him, 'I want to befriend you.' The traveler said to him, 'I have no need for your friendship.' He said, 'Yes, ask me whatever you want and I will inform you.' The traveler said, 'Yes.' He said, 'What do you tempt people with?' He said, 'We look at the beautiful women among them and the sweet melodies, and we play with them, just as children play with a ball.'"  

أَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى سَائِحٍ فَأَرَادَهُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُصَادِقَكَ قَالَ لَهُ السَّائِحُ لَيْسَ لِي بِصَدَاقَتِكَ حَاجَةٌ قَالَ بَلَى؛ تَسْأَلُنِي عَمَّا شِئْتَ أُخْبِرْكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ بِمَ تَفْتِنُونَ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّنَا نَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْعَجَلِ مِنْهُمْ وَالْحِدَّةِ فَنَلْعَبُ بِهِمْ؛ كَمَا تَلْعَبُ الصِّبْيَانُ بِالْأُكْرَةِ  

[Machine] Some of the scribes of the Children of Israel have become like the strand in the breeze and like the grain in the wind; how could I possibly avoid  

بَعْضُ أَحْبَارِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَصْبَحْتُ مِثْلَ الْخُصْلَةِ فِي أَثَرِ الْقَاطِفِ وَمِثْلَ السُّنْبُلَةِ فِي أَثَرِ الصَّارِمِ؛ فَكَمْ عَسَى أَنْ أَتَّقِيَ  

[Machine] "Among the children of Israel, there have appeared reciters who are wicked, and they shall increase among you."  

«ظَهَرَتْ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قُرَّاءٌ فَسَقَةٌ وَسَيَكْثُرُونَ فِيكُمْ»  

[Machine] Allah revealed to a prophet from the prophets of the Children of Israel, saying to his people, "Do not eat the food of my enemies, do not drink the drink of my enemies, and do not resemble the appearance of my enemies; for they will become my enemies as they are my enemies."  

أَوْحَى اللَّهُ ﷻ إِلَى نَبِيٍّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قُلْ لِقَوْمِكَ لَا يَأْكُلُوا طَعَامَ أَعْدَائِي وَلَا يَشْرَبُوا شَرَابَ أَعْدَائِي وَلَا يَتَشَكَّلُوا شَكْلَ أَعْدَائِي؛ فَيَكُونُوا أَعْدَائِي كَمَا هُمْ أَعْدَائِي  

[Machine] There was a scribe among the people of Bani Israel who used to advise and remind them of the days of Allah. One day, he saw some of his children winking at women, so he said, "Hold on, my children, hold on." Then, he fell from his bed and broke his spine, his wife miscarried, and his children were killed in battle. Then Allah revealed to their prophet to inform the scribe that Allah will never bring forth a righteous descendant from him due to his anger, except if he says, "Hold on, my children, hold on."  

كَانَ حَبْرٌ مِنْ أَحْبَارِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَغْشَى مَنْزِلَهُ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ؛ يَعِظُهُمْ فَيُذَكِّرُهُمْ بِأَيَّامِ اللَّهِ فَرَأَى بَعْضَ بَنِيهِ يَوْمًا غَمْزَ النِّسَاءَ فَقَالَ مَهْلًا يَا بُنَيَّ مَهْلًا يَا بُنَيَّ قَالَ فَسَقَطَ مِنْ سَرِيرِهِ وَانْقَطَعَ نُخَاعُهُ وَأَسْقَطَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ وَقُتِلَ بَنِيهُ فِي الْجَيْشِ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ ﷻ إِلَى نَبِيِّهِمْ أَنْ أَخْبِرْ فُلَانًا الْحَبْرَ أَنِّي لَا أُخْرِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ صِدِّيقًا أَبَدًا مَا غَضَبُكَ لِي إِلَّا أَنْ قُلْتَ مَهْلًا يَا بُنَيَّ مَهْلًا يَا بُنَيَّ  

[Machine] "It is written in the Torah: Whoever has a neighbor who commits sins and does not prohibit him, he is considered a partner in his actions."  

مَكْتُوبٌ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ جَارٌ يَعْمَلُ بِالْمَعَاصِي فَلَمْ يَنْهَهُ فَهُوَ شَرِيكُهُ  

[Machine] A group of Bani Israel would fast during the day, and when nightfall came and the food was set, they would consider it an affliction among themselves. A man from amongst them would stand up and say, "Do not eat too much, for then you will drink too much and sleep too much."  

أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَصُومُونَ النَّهَارَ فَإِذَا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ وَوُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ جَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ نَوَائِبَ بَيْنَهُمْ؛ يَقُومُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَيَقُولُ لَا تَأْكُلُوا كَثِيرًا فَتَشْرَبُوا كَثِيرًا فَتَرْقُدُوا كَثِيرًا  

[Machine] He said, "I see Jeremiah saying, 'O Lord, You have chosen Your servant David and he built a mosque for You, and it was his concern and my concern.' Until when he was like a groom, those of his faction gained control over him." It was then said to him, "If it were said to you, 'Bring a handful of sun' or 'Measure of wind' or 'Bring back tomorrow' or 'Do you know how many doors the sky has?' or 'How many treasures does Allah have?' or 'How many springs are in the sea?' or 'The sea came to argue with you, what would it say to you?' The sea said to you, 'My waves are abundant and my springs are abundant, and I wanted to lean towards the land.'" The land said to you, 'My trees are abundant and my mountains are abundant, and my animals are abundant, and my rivers are abundant. I wanted to lean towards the sea.' Which of the two would you judge for?"  

قَالَ أَرَاهُ أَرْمِيَا يَا رَبِّ اخْتَرْتَ عَبْدَكَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَبَنَى لَكَ مَسْجِدًا وَكَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِهِ وَشَأْنِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِثْلَ الْعَرُوسِ سُلِّطَ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ حَزَبَهُ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ قِيلَ لَكَ صُرَّ صُرَّةً مِنَ الشَّمْسِ أَوْ كِلْ مِكْيَالًا مِنَ الرِّيحِ أَوْ رِدْ يَوْمَ غَدٍ أَوْ قِيلَ لَكَ هَلْ تَدْرِي كَمْ لِلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ بَابٍ؟ وَكَمْ لِلَّهِ ﷻ مِنْ خِزَانَةٍ؟ أَوْ كَمْ فِي الْبَحْرِ مِنْ يَنْبُوعٍ؟ أَوْ أَتَاكَ الْبَحْرُ يُخَاصِمُ إِلَيْكَ الْبَرَّ؛ فَقَالَ لَكَ الْبَحْرُ كَثُرَتْ فِيَّ أَمْوَاجِي وَكَثُرَتْ يَنَابِيعِي وَقَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَمِيلَ عَلَى الْبَرِّ وَقَالَ لَكَ الْبَرُّ كَثُرَتْ فِيَّ أَشْجَارِي وَكَثُرَتْ فِيَّ جِبَالِي وَكَثُرَتْ فِيَّ وُحُوشِي وَكَثُرَتْ فِيَّ أَنْهَارِي وَقَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَمِيلَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ لِأَيِّهِمَا كُنْتَ تَقْضِي؟  

[Machine] "Praise be to God, who is pleased with mankind for what we have done."  

«الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَرْضَى بِشْرًا بِمَا صَنَعْنَا»  

[Machine] Luqman said, "There will come a time when the eye of a wise person will not find satisfaction in people."  

قَالَ لُقْمَانُ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لَا تَقَرُّ فِيهِ عَيْنُ حَكِيمٍ  

[Machine] "O my son, the world is a deep ocean in which many people have drowned, so make your ship in it the fear of Allah and its filling is belief in Allah, and its sail is reliance on Allah, so that you may be saved. And I do not see you as one who will be saved."  

لِابْنِهِ أَيْ بُنَيَّ إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا بَحْرٌ عَمِيقٌ قَدْ غَرِقَ فِيهِ نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ فَاجْعَلْ سَفِينَتَكَ فِيهَا تَقْوَى اللَّهِ ﷻ وَحَشْوُهَا الْإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ ﷻ وَشِرَاعُهَا التَّوَكُّلُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَعَلَّكَ تَنْجُو وَلَا أَرَاكَ نَاجِيًا  

[Machine] Luqman said to his son, "O my son, I have carried armor and iron, but I have not found anything heavier than the burden of a bad neighbor."  

قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ يَا بُنَيَّ حَمَلْتُ الْجَنْدَلَ وَالْحَدِيدَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَثْقَلَ مِنْ جَارِ السُّوءِ  

[Machine] I read in the wisdom that whoever has a counselor in himself, Allah will be his guardian, and whoever is fair with people towards himself, Allah will increase him in honor, and obedience to Allah is closer to dignity than pride in disobedience.  

قَرَأْتُ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَاعِظٌ كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حَافِظٌ وَمَنْ أَنْصَفَ النَّاسَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ زَادَهُ اللَّهُ بِذَلِكَ عِزًّا وَالذُّلُّ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ أَقْرَبُ مِنْ التَّعَزُّزِ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ  

[Machine] Wisdom said, "O son of Adam, seek me and you will find me within two letters. You do good with what you know and avoid evil with what you know."  

قَالَتِ الْحِكْمَةُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ تَلْتَمِسُنِي وَأَنْتَ تَجِدُنِي فِي حَرْفَيْنِ تَعْمَلُ بِخَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَتَدَعُ شَرَّ مَا تَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] Luqman said to his son, "O my son, do not show people that you fear Allah while your heart is corrupt."  

قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُرِي النَّاسَ أَنَّكَ تَخْشَى اللَّهَ وَقَلْبُكَ فَاجِرٌ  

[Machine] Luqman said to his son, "O my son, a believer has two hearts, one heart for hoping and one heart for fearing."  

قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَذُو قَلْبَيْنِ قَلْبٌ يَرْجُو بِهِ وَقَلْبٌ يَخَافُ بِهِ  

[Machine] "O my son, humble yourself, meaning detach yourself from your possessions. He does not need you, nor do you need him, O my son. Be like someone who does not seek people's praise, for his own self will be troubled by it while the people will find comfort in it."  

لِابْنِهِ يَا بُنَيَّ أَنْزِلْ نَفْسَكَ يَعْنِي مِنْ مَوَلَاكَ مَنْزِلَةً لَا حَاجَةَ لَهُ بِكَ وَلَا بُدَّ لَكَ مِنْهُ يَا بُنَيَّ كُنْ كَمَنْ لَا يَبْتَغِي مَحْمَدَةَ النَّاسِ يَكْتُبُ مَذَمَّتَهُمْ؛ فَنَفْسُهُ مِنْهُ فِي عَنَاءٍ وَالنَّاسُ مِنْهُ فِي رَاحَةٍ  

[Machine] Luqman said to his son, "O my son, surely wisdom has made the poor sit in the assemblies of the kings."  

قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ أَيْ بُنَيَّ إِنَّ الْحِكْمَةَ أَجْلَسَتِ الْمَسَاكِينَ مَجَالِسَ الْمُلُوكِ  

[Machine] No, rather it is from knowledge; for if they need it, they will find knowledge with him, and if they do not need it, it enriches himself.  

«لَا بَلْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ؛ فَإِنِ احْتَاجُوا إِلَيْهِ وَجَدُوا عِنْدَهُ عِلْمًا وَإِنْ لَمْ يُحْتَجْ لَهُ أَغْنَى نَفْسَهُ»  

[Machine] I do not ask for what is enough for me, and I do not bother myself with what does not concern me.  

لَا أَسْأَلُ عَمَّا كُفِيتُ وَلَا أَتَكَلَّفُ مَا لَا يَعْنِينِي  

[Machine] Indeed, righteous deeds elevate one's Lord when they stumble.  

أَنَّ الْعَمَلَ الصَّالِحَ يَرْفَعُ رَبَّهُ إِذَا عَثَرَ  

[Machine] Luqman said to his son, "O my son, sit with the righteous of Allah's servants, for you will benefit from their virtues, and perhaps you will be blessed with mercy descending upon them, and you will be included in it. O my son, do not sit with the wicked, for you will not benefit from their company, and perhaps you will face punishment that befalls them, and you will be affected by it."  

قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ يَا بُنَيَّ جَالِسِ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ؛ فَإِنَّكَ تُصِيبُ مِنْ مَحَاسِنِهِمْ خَيْرًا وَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ آخِرُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الرَّحْمَةُ فَتُصِيبَكَ مَعَهُمْ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُجَالِسِ الْأَشْرَارَ؛ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُصِيبُ مِنْ مُجَالِسَتِهِمْ خَيْرًا وَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي آخِرِ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ عُقُوبَةٌ فَتُصِيبَكَ مَعَهُمْ  

[Machine] I have read in wisdom, listen to the questioner until his speech is finished, then respond to him with mercy and be to the orphan like a merciful father and be a supporter for the oppressed, perhaps you will be the successor of Allah on his earth.  

قَرَأْتُ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ أَنْصِتْ لِلسَّائِلِ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ كَلَامُهُ ثُمَّ ارْدُدْ عَلَيْهِ بِرَحْمَةٍ وَكُنْ لِلْيَتِيمِ كَالْأَبِ الرَّحِيمِ وَكُنْ لِلْمَظْلُومِ نَاصِرًا لَعَلَّكَ تَكُونُ خَلِيفَةَ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ  

[Machine] "Ya'nī Luqman, 'assamt alhikmah waqalīl fa'īluhu'" translates to "Luqman meant that silence is wisdom, and few practice it."  

يَعْنِي لُقْمَانَ «الصَّمْتُ حِكْمَةٌ وَقَلِيلٌ فَاعِلُهُ»  

[Machine] It is written in wisdom, "Do not deceive the deceiver; his betrayal is enough for him."  

مَكْتُوبٌ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ «لَا تَخُنِ الْخَائِنَ؛ خِيَانَتُهُ تَكْفِيهِ»  

[Machine] Indeed, Allah says: "O young man who abandons his desire, his youthfulness will be humbled for my sake. You are with me like some of my angels."  

إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يَقُولُ أَيُّهَا الشَّابُّ التَّارِكُ شَهْوَتَهُ لِي الْمُبْتَذِلُ شَبَابَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي أَنْتَ عِنْدِي كَبَعْضِ مَلَائِكَتِي  

[Machine] "In the Torah it is written, 'O son of Adam, remember Me with your tongue and forget Me not. Call upon Me and flee from Me, and I will provide for you and worship others besides Me.'"  

إِنَّ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ مَكْتُوبًا يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ تَذْكُرُنِي بِلِسَانِكَ وَتَنْسَانِي وَتَدْعُو إِلَيَّ وَتَفِرُّ مِنِّي وَأَرْزُقُكَ وَتَعْبُدُ غَيْرِي  

[Machine] Lokman said to his son, "Seek help from Allah, but do not feel safe from His trickery. Fear Allah with a fear that does not lead to despair of His mercy." His son asked, "O my father, how can I do that when I only have one heart?" He replied, "O my son, indeed the believer has two hearts: a heart in which he hopes, and a heart in which he fears."  

قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ ارْجُ اللَّهَ ﷻ رَجَاءً لَا تَأْمَنُ فِيهِ مَكْرَهُ وَخِفِ اللَّهَ مَخَافَةً لَا تَيْأَسُ فِيهَا مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ قَالَ يَا أَبَتَاهُ وَكَيْفَ أَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ؛ وَإِنَّمَا لِي قَلْبٌ وَاحِدٌ؟ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَذُو قَلْبَيْنِ قَلْبٌ يَرْجُو بِهِ وَقَلْبٌ يَخَافُ بِهِ  

[Machine] "To his son, 'O my son, do not desire the friendship of the ignorant, for he will think that you approve of his actions and do not belittle the dislike of the wise, for he will boycott you.'"  

لِابْنِهِ «يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تَرْغَبْ فِي وُدِّ الْجَاهِلِ؛ فَيَرَى أَنَّكَ تَرْضَى عَمَلَهُ وَلَا تَتَهَاوَنْ بِمَقْتِ الْحَكِيمِ فَيَزْهَدَ فِيكَ»  

[Machine] Indeed, Luqman returned from a journey and met his servant on the road. He asked, "What happened to my father?" The servant replied, "He passed away." Luqman said, "Praise be to Allah, I am in charge now." He asked, "What happened to my mother?" The servant replied, "She passed away." Luqman said, "My sadness has gone." He asked, "What happened to my wife?" The servant replied, "She passed away." Luqman said, "My bed needs renewing." He asked, "What happened to my sister?" The servant replied, "She passed away." Luqman said, "My nakedness is covered." He asked, "What happened to my brother?" The servant replied, "He passed away." Luqman said, "My support is gone."  

إِنَّ لُقْمَانَ قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَلَقِيَ غُلَامَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ أَبِي؟ قَالَ مَاتَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ؛ مَلَكْتُ أَمْرِي قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ أُمِّي؟ قَالَ مَاتَتْ قَالَ ذَهَبَ غَمِّي قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتِ امْرَأَتِي؟ قَالَ مَاتَتْ قَالَ جُدِّدَ فِرَاشِي قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ أُخْتِي؟ قَالَ مَاتَتْ قَالَ سُتِرَتْ عَوْرَتِي قَالَ مَا [89] فَعَلَ أَخِي؟ قَالَ مَاتَ قَالَ انْقَطَعَ ظَهْرِي  

[Machine] Luqman said to his son, "O my son, sit with the scholars and engage with them actively, for indeed Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, revives hearts with the light of wisdom just as He revives the dead land with the downpour from the sky."  

قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ يَا بُنَيَّ جَالِسِ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَزَاحِمْهُمْ بِرُكْبَتَيْكَ؛ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لَيُحْيِي الْقُلُوبَ بِنُورِ الْحِكْمَةِ كَمَا يُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ الْمَيْتَةَ بِوَابِلِ السَّمَاءِ
