"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: كُونُوا فِي النَّاسِ كَالنَّحْلَةِ فِي الطَّيْرِ إنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي الطَّيْرِ شَئٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَسْتَضْعِفُهَا وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُ الطَّيْرُ مَا فِى أَجْوَافِهَا مِنَ الْبَرَكَةِ لَمْ يَفْعَلوُا ذَلِكَ بِهَا، خَالِطُوا النَّاسَ بِأَلْسِنَتِكُم وَأجسَادِكُمْ وَزَايلُوهُم بِأَعْمَالِكُم وَقُلُوبِكُم، فَإِنَّ لِلْمَرْءِ مَا اكْتَسَبَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَ القيَامَةِ مَعَ مَنْ أَحبَّ".

[Machine] Ali, be like the bee among people, for there is nothing in birds that does not belittle it. If birds knew the blessings within their innards, they would not do this to it. Mix with people with your tongues, bodies, and enrich them with your actions and hearts. Indeed, a person will have what he has earned, and he will be on the Day of Judgment with those whom he loves.

الدارمي:٣٢٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ حَصِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي صَادِقٍ الْأَزْدِيِّ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ نَاجِذٍ قَالَ قَالَ

عَلِيٌّ كُونُوا فِي النَّاسِ كَالنَّحْلَةِ فِي الطَّيْرِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَسْتَضْعِفُهَا وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُ الطَّيْرُ مَا فِي أَجْوَافِهَا مِنَ الْبَرَكَةِ لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ بِهَا خَالِطُوا النَّاسَ بِأَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَجْسَادِكُمْ وَزَايِلُوهُمْ بِأَعْمَالِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِكُمْ فَإِنَّ لِلْمَرْءِ مَا اكْتَسَبَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ
