1686 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «رَأَيْتُ اَلْمَعْرُوفَ كَاسْمِهِ وَ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ اَلْمَعْرُوفِ إِلاَّ ثَوَابُهُ وَ ذَلِكَ يُرَادُ مِنْهُ وَ لَيْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ اَلْمَعْرُوفَ إِلَى اَلنَّاسِ يَصْنَعُهُ وَ لَيْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَرْغَبُ فِيهِ يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لاَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ فِيهِ فَإِذَا اِجْتَمَعَتِ اَلرَّغْبَةُ وَ اَلْقُدْرَةُ وَ اَلْإِذْنُ فَهُنَالِكَ تَمَّتِ اَلسَّعَادَةُ لِلطَّالِبِ وَ اَلْمَطْلُوبِ إِلَيْهِ.
Hadith.1686 - Imam said: “I found kindness to be true to its name, and nothing surpasses kindness except its reward, which is the ultimate purpose of it. Not everyone who desires to perform kindness towards others succeeds in doing so. Not everyone who seeks it is able to fulfill it, and not everyone who is capable of it is granted permission to act. When desire, ability, and permission come together, happiness is then complete for both the one seeking to give and the one receiving it."
