وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): لِكُمَيْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ النَّخَعِيِّ يَا كُمَيْلُ مُرْ أَهْلَكَ أَنْ يَرُوحُوا فِي كَسْبِ الْمَكَارِمِ وَ يُدْلِجُوا فِي حَاجَةِ مَنْ هُوَ نَائِمٌ فَوَالَّذِي وَسِعَ سَمْعُهُ الْأَصْوَاتَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْدَعَ قَلْباً سُرُوراً إِلَّا وَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ السُّرُورِ لُطْفاً فَإِذَا نَزَلَتْ بِهِ نَائِبَةٌ جَرَي إِلَيْهَا كَالْمَاءِ فِي انْحِدَارِهِ حَتَّي يَطْرُدَهَا عَنْهُ كَمَا تُطْرَدُ غَرِيبَةُ الْإِبِلِ
