26ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): أوحَى اللّهُ إلى عيسَى بنِ مَريمَ: عِظْ نفسَكَ بحِكمَتي، فإنِ انتَفَعتَ فَعِظِ النّاسَ، وإلّا فاستَحيِ مِنّي. |
| 26– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Allah revealed to Jesus son of Mary, ‘Exhort your self with My wisdom, and once you benefit from it then exhort people, and if not, then be ashamed in front of Me.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 43156] |

27ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا تَكُن مِمَّن ... يُبالِغُ في المَوعِظَةِ ولا يَتَّعِظُ، فهُو بِالقَولِ مُدِلٌّ ومِن العَمَلِ مُقِلٌّ، يُنافِسُ فيما يَفنى، ويُسامِحُ فيما يَبقى، يَرَى الغُنمَ مَغرَما، والغُرمَ مَغنَماً. |
| 27– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Do not be like he who…exhorts extensively but does not take lesson himself, for he is arrogant in his speech and little of deeds, he disputes about what is to perish, and allows to pass what is eternal, he sees benefits as a loss, and losses as beneficial.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 150] |
|
28ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): رُبَّ زاجِرٍ غَيرُ مُزدَجِرٍ، رُبَّ واعِظٍ غَيرُ مُرتَدِعٍ. |
| 28– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Many a rebuker is himself not rebuked, and many an exhorter is himself not restrained [from sins].’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 5360-5361] |
|
29ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أيُّها النّاسُ، اِستَصبِحوا مِن شُعلَةِ مِصباحِ واعِظٍ مُتَّعِظٍ، وامتاحُوا مِن صَفوِ عَينٍ قَد رُوِّقَت مِن الكَدَرِ. |
| 29– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘O people, seek enlightenment from the torch of the lamp of an exhorter who takes his own advice and from the clear spring that has been filtered of all impurity.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 105] |
|
30ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ العالِمَ إذا لم يَعمَلْ بعِلمِهِ زَلَّت مَوعِظَتُهُ عنِ القُلوبِ كَما يَزِلُّ المَطَرُ عنِ الصَّفا. |
| 30– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘When the knowledgeable man does not act upon his knowledge, his exhortation slips away from the hearts like the rain slips off a flat rock.’[Munyat al-Murid, p. 146,181] |
