The more appropriate knowledge to you is that which is not righteous to you to work except with<br />

it. The most incumbent knowledge on you is that which you are responsible for working with it.<br />

The most required knowledge is that which leads you to the righteousness of your heart and<br />

shows you its corruption. The most praiseworthy knowledge in the final result is that which<br />

increases the reason of the wise. Therefore do not busy (yourself) with the knowledge that does<br />

not harm you if you are ignorant of it; and do not be heedless of the knowledge that increases<br />

your ignorance when you leave it.<br />

Beware of withholding from (spending money) on the acts of obedience to Allah lest you should<br />

spend twice as much as it on the acts of disobedience to Allah.<br />

Whoever speaks of Allah perishes; whoever seeks presidency perishes; whoever is vainglorious<br />

perishes. A man asked Imam Musa about a generous person, and he, peace be on him, replied:<br />

“Surely your speech has two meanings: If you are asking about the creatures, then the generous<br />

person is he who performs that which Allah has made obligatory on him. The miser is he who<br />

refrains from that which Allah has made obligatory on him. If you mean the Creator, then He is<br />

generous when He gives and He is generous when he withholds, for if He gives you, He gives you<br />

that which does not belong to you; and if he withholds you, He withholds you from that which<br />

does belong to you.<br />

Surely if some people ac<strong>com</strong>pany the supreme ruler (sultan) that the believers may use them as<br />

caves, they will be safe on the Day of Resurrection. One jurist who saves one of our orphans who<br />

can not see us through teaching him that which he is in need of is more violent to Iblis than a<br />

thousand worshippers. For the worshipper takes care of himself only; and this (jurist) takes care of<br />

himself along with the servants of Allah‐male and female‐in order to save them from the hand and<br />

disobedience of Iblis; for this reason he is better in Allah’s sight than a million worshippers.<br />

‘Abd Allah b. Yehya said: “I wrote to Imam Musa in a supplication: Praise belongs to Allah (to) the<br />

end of His knowledge. And he, peace be on him, wrote back: ‘Do not say (to) the end of His<br />

knowledge, for there is no end to His knowledge, but say to the end of His good pleasure.’” If men<br />

<strong>com</strong>mit sins they have not to do, Allah subjects them to tribulations they do not expect.<br />

‘Ali b. Swayd al‐Sa’i said: “I questioned Abu al‐Hasan al‐Awual about the words of Him, the Exalted<br />

and Great: And whoever trusts in Allah, he is sufficient for him. And he, peace be on him, has said:<br />

‘The trust in Allah is degrees: of them is that you trust in Him in all your affairs, so you should be<br />

satisfied with what He does to you. You should know that He gives you nothing but good and<br />

favors; you should know that the decision regarding that belongs to Him; and you should trust in<br />

Him in respect with it and other than it. Allah has mercy on the inhabitants of the earth as long as<br />

they love each other, make over trusts to their owners, and work with the truth. Do not neglect<br />
