محمد بن أبي عمير عن منصور بن يونس عن الثمالي عن علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ثلاث منجيات وثلاث مهلكات قالوا يا رسول الله ما المنجيات؟ قال: خوف الله في السر كأنك تراه فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراك والعدل في الرضا والغضب والقصد في الغناء والفقر قالوا يا رسول الله: فما المهلكات؟ قال: هوى متبع وشح مطاع واعجاب المرء بنفسه.
15.Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated from Manṣūr ibn Yūnus, from al-Thumālī, from ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn who said, “The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, ‘Three things deliver [one to safety] and three things destroy.’ They asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what are the things that save [a person]?’ He said, ‘Fearing Allah in secret as though you see Him, for if you cannot see Him, surely He can see you; exercising justice in happiness and anger; and [thirdly,] moderation in [times of] abundance and poverty.’ They asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, and what are the destroyers?’ He (ṣ) said, ‘Vain desire that is followed, the adoption of stinginess, and for a person to be pleased with himself.’”
