ما يَنبَغي التَّسَلُّحُ بِهِ عَلَى الأعداءِ How to Arm Oneself Against Enemies

17ـ لقمانُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في وَصِيَّتِهِ لاِبنِهِ ـ: يا بُنَيَّ ، لِيَكُن مِمّا تَتَسَلَّحُ بِهِ عَلى عَدُوِّكَ فَتَصرَعُهُ المُماسَحَةُ وإعلانُ الرِّضا عَنهُ ، ولا تُزاوِلْهُ بِالمُجانَبَةِ فيَبدُوَ لَهُ ما في نَفسِكَ فَيتَأهَّبَ لَكَ.


17– Luqman (AS) said in his advice to his son, ‘O my son, let your weapons against your enemy with which you bring him to the ground be crafty persuasion and a [false] display of pleasure with him, and do not pursue him by running after him in case what you harbour within may become manifest to him leading him to prepare himself for you.’[Amali al-Saduq, p. 532, no. 5]
