3-57 Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutevakil - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Adam, on the authority of his father through a chain of documentations that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “O Ali! Do not consult with a coward since he would hinder your progress. Do not consult with a miser since he would lower your aspirations; and do not consult with a greedy person since he would guide you towards collecting wealth. O Ali! Know that cowardliness, miserliness and greed are of the same nature. They all stem from having a bad opinion about God.”
IsnādMohammed ibn Moussa ibn Al-Moutawakkil a rapporté: Mohammed ibn Yahya Al-Atar nous a informés, de la part de Mohammed ibn Ahmed, de la part de Mohammed ibn Adam, de son père, avec cette chaîne de transmission, a dit: Le Messager d'Allah (que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit:
"Ô Ali, ne consulte pas un lâche car il te limitera dans tes issues, ne consulte pas un avare car il te privera de ton objectif, ne consulte pas un avide car il embellira son mal pour toi. Sache, ô Ali, que la lâcheté, l'avarice et l'avidité sont des instincts uniques alimentés par de mauvaises pensées."
