١٢. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): أَعْجَزُ النَّاسِ مَنْ عَجَزَ عَنِ اكْتِسَابِ الْإِخْوَانِ وَأَعْجَزُ مِنْهُ مَنْ ضَيَّعَ مَنْ ظَفِرَ بِهِ مِنْهُمْ.

12. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: The most helpless of all men is he who cannot find a few brothers during his life, but still more helpless is he who finds such a brother but loses him. [1]

12. Le plus impuissant parmi les hommes est celui qui n’arrive pas à acquérir des amis, mais celui qui les perd après les avoir acquis est plus impuissant encore.
