suyuti:4-2437bal-Ḥārth > ʿAli

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “No poverty is more severe than ignorance; no wealth is more beneficial than intellect; no loneliness is more desolate than self-admiration; seeking support is more successful than consultation; no intelligence is like sound planning; no nobility is like good character; no piety is like restraint; no worship is like reflection; and no faith is like modesty and patience. The blight of speech is lying, and the blight of knowledge is forgetfulness. The blight of forbearance is foolishness; the blight of worship is lethargy; the blight of refinement is affectation; the blight of courage is aggression; the blight of generosity is reminding others of one’s favors; the blight of beauty is arrogance; and the blight of lineage is boasting.”

السيوطي:٤-٢٤٣٧bعن الحارث ، عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ:

"قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ لَا فَقْرَ أَشَّدُّ مِنَ الْجَهْلِ، وَلَا مَالَ أَعْوَدُ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ، وَلَا وِحْدَةَ أَوْحَشُ مِنَ الْعُجْبِ، وَالاسْتَظْهَارُ أَوْفَقُ مِنَ الْمُشَاوَرَةِ، وَلَا عَقْلَ كالْتَّدْبِيرِ، وَلَا حَسَبَ كَحُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ، وَلَا وَرَعَ كَالْكَفِّ، وَلَا عِبَادَةَ كَالتَّفَكُّرِ، وَلَا إِيمَانَ كَالْحَيَاءِ والصَّبْرِ، وآفَةُ الْحَدِيثِ الْكَذِبُ، وآفَةُ الْعِلْمِ النِّسْيَانُ،

وَآفَةُ الْحِلْمِ السَّفَهُ، وآفةُ الْعِبَادَةِ الْفَتْرَةُ، وآفَةُ الَظَّرْفِ الصَّلَفُ، وآفَةُ الشَّجاعَةِ الْبَغْىُ، وآفَةُ السَّمَاحَةِ الْمَنُّ، وآفَةُ الْجَمَالِ الْخُيَلَاءُ، وآفَةُ الْحَسَبِ الْفَخْرُ".

"لا مَال أَعْوَدُ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ، وَلا فَقْر أشَدُّ مِنَ الْجَهْلِ، وَلا وحْدَةَ أَشدُّ من العُجْبِ، وَلا مُظَاهَرَةَ أَوْثَقُ مِنَ الْمُشَاوَرِة، وَلا عَقْلَ كالتَّدْبِيرِ، ولا حَسَبَ كَحُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ، وَلا وَرَعَ كالْكَفِّ، وَلا عبَادة كالتَّفكُّرِ، وآفَةُ الْحَدِيثِ الْكَذِبُ، وآفَةُ الجَمَال البَغْي، وآفَةُ الشَّجَاعَةِ الْفَخْرُ".
