"ثَلاثٌ مُهْلكَاتٌ، وَثلَاثٌ مُنْجيَاتٌ، وَثَلَاثٌ دَرَجاتٌ، وَثَلَاثٌ كَفَّارَاتٌ؛

(أ) قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّه مَا الْمُهْلِكَاتُ؟ قَالَ: شُحٌّ مُطَاعٌ، وَهَوًى مُتَّبَعٌ، وَإِعْجَابُ الْمَرْء بنَفْسِهِ،

(ب) قِيل: فَمَا الْمُنْجِيَاتُ؟ قَال: تَقْوَى اللَّه في السِّرِّ وَالْعَلَانِيَةِ، وَالاقْتصَادُ في الْفَقْرَ وَالْغِنَى، وَالْعَدْلُ في الرِّضا وَالْغَضب،

(ج) قِيلَ: فمَا الْكَفَّارَاتُ؟ قَال: نَقْل الأَقْدَام إِلَى المسَاجِد، وانْتِظَارُ الصَّلاة بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ، وَإِتْمَامُ الْوُضُوءِ فِى الْيَوْمِ الْبَارِد عِنَد السَّبَرَاتِ".

السيوطي:١٣١٠١a – عن ابن عمر وأنس

ثَلَاثٌ مُهْلِكاتٌ، وثَلَاثٌ مُنْجِيَاتٌ، وثَلَاثٌ كَفَّاراتٌ، وثَلَاثٌ درجاتٌ؛

(أ) فَأَمَّا الْمُهْلِكَاتُ: فَشُحٌّ مُطَاعٌ، وهَوًى مُتَّبعٌ، وإِعْجَابُ الْمرْءِ بنفْسِهِ.

(ب) وأَمَّا الْمُنْجيَاتُ: فالعدْلُ في الْغضَب والرِّضَى، والْقصْدُ في الْفَقْرِ والْغِنَى، وخَشيْةُ اللَّه فِى السِّرِّ والْعلَانِيةِ.

(ج) وأَمَّا الْكفَّاراتُ: فانْتِظارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ، وإِسْباغُ الْوُضوءِ في السَّبراتِ، ونقْلُ الأَقْدامِ إلَى الْجماعاتِ.

(د) وأَمَّا الدَّرجاتُ. فَإِطْعامُ الطَّعامِ وإِفْشَاءُ السَّلَامِ، والصَّلَاةُ باللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ.
