حکمت 422: کار نیک بجا آورید، و آن را هر مقدار… · Saying 422

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام):

افْعَلُوا الْخَيْرَ وَ لَا تَحْقِرُوا مِنْهُ شَيْئاً.

فَإِنَّ صَغِيرَهُ كَبِيرٌ وَ قَلِيلَهُ كَثِيرٌ وَ لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنَّ أَحَداً أَوْلَي بِفِعْلِ الْخَيْرِ مِنِّي فَيَكُونَ وَ اللَّهِ كَذَلِكَ إِنَّ لِلْخَيْرِ وَ الشَّرِّ أَهْلًا فَمَهْمَا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ مِنْهُمَا كَفَاكُمُوهُ أَهْلُهُ.

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: Do good and do not regard any part of it small because its small is big and its little is much. No one of you should say that another person is more deserving than I in doing good. Otherwise, by Allah, it would really be so. There are people of good and evil. When you would leave either of the two, others will perform them.
