Nahj al-Balāgha

٨١. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): قِيمَةُ كُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا يُحْسِنُهُ.

81. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: The worth of every man is in his attainments. [1]

قال السيد الرضي: وهي الكلمة التي لا تصاب لها قيمة ولا توزن بها حكمة ولا تقرن إليها كلمة.

as-Sayyid ar-Raḍī says: This is the sentence whose value cannot be assessed, with which no wise saying can be weighed and with which no other sentence can be matched.
