حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، ثَنَا عَبَّادٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:
أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، اعْقِلُوا عَنْ رَبِّكُمْ، وَتَوَاضَعُوا بِالْعَقْلِ بِمَا أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ، وَمَا نُهِيتُمْ عَنْهُ، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ يُحَذِّرُكُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْعَاقِلَ مَنْ أَطَاعَ اللهَ تَعَالَى، وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَمِيمَ الْمَنْظَرِ، حَقِيرَ الْخَطَرِ، دَنِيءَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ، رَثَّ الْهَيْئَةِ، وَإِنَّ الْجَاهِلَ مَنْ عَصَى اللهَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ جَمِيلَ الْمَنْظَرِ، شَرِيفَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ، حَسَنَ الْهَيْئَةِ، فَصِيحًا نَطُوقًا، وَالْقِرَدَةُ وَالْخَنَازِيرُ أَعْقَلُ عَنِ اللهِ تَعَالَى مِمَّنْ عَصَاهُ، وَلَا تَفْتَرُوا بِتَعْظِيمِ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا إِيَّاكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ غَدًا مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ

✧ O people, understand [the commands] from your Lord, and humble yourselves with the intellect concerning what you have been commanded and what you have been forbidden. Know that He warns you before your Lord. Know that the intelligent one is he who obeys God Almighty, even if he is of ugly appearance, lowly in rank, base in station, shabby in condition. And the ignorant one is he who disobeys God, even if he is of beautiful appearance, noble in station, good in condition, eloquent and articulate. Monkeys and pigs are more intelligent regarding God Almighty than one who disobeys Him. Do not be deceived by the people of this world honoring you, for tomorrow you will be among the losers.
