٨٩. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): مَنْ أَصْلَحَ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ اللهِ أَصْلَحَ اللهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ، وَمَنْ أَصْلَحَ أَمْرَ آخِرَتِهِ أَصْلَحَ اللهُ لَهُ أَمْرَ دُنْيَاهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَاعِظٌ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اللهِ حَافِظٌ.

89. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: If a man sets right matters between himself and Allāh, then Allāh sets right matters between him and other people; and if a man sets right the affairs of his next life then Allāh sets right for him the affairs of this world. Whoever is a preacher for himself is protected by Allāh.
