عَلاماتُ الغافِلِ The Distinguishing Characteristics of a Negligent Person

11ـ لُقمانُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ لابنِهِ وهو يَعِظُهُ ـ: يابُنَيَّ، لِكُلِّ شَيءٍ علامةٌ يُعرَفُ بها ويُشهَدُ علَيها ... وللغافِلِ ثلاثُ علاماتٍ: السَّهوُ، واللَّهوُ، والنِّسيانُ.

11– Luqman (AS) said to his son, exhorting him: ‘O my son, everything has a distinguishing characteristic by which it is recognised and witnessed … the negligent person has three distinguishing characteristics: absent-mindedness, amusement, and forgetfulness.’[al-Khisal, p. 121, no. 113]
 

12ـ الإمامُ الحسنُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): الغَفلَةُ تَركُكَ المَسجِدَ، وطاعَتُكَ المُفسِدَ .

12– Imam al-Hasan (AS) said, ‘Negligence is [manifest] in your abandonment of the mosque and in your obedience of the corrupt.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 115, no. 10]
