Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 3405a
✧ Hamza with Dad
"اطلبُوا المعروفَ من رحماء أُمَّتى تعيشُوا في أَكْنَافِهمْ، ولا تطلبُوه من القاسية قُلوبُهُمْ، فإِنَّ اللَّعْنة تنزِلُ عليهمْ، يا عَليُّ! إنَّ الله خلق الْمعُروفَ، وخلقَ له أهلًا، فحَبَّبَهُ إليهِمْ، وحبَّبَ إِليهم فِعاله، ووجَّه إليهم طُلَّابَه، كما وَجَّه الماءَ في الأرضِ الجدْبةِ لتَحْيَا به، ويَحْيَا بِهِ أَهْلُها، إِنَّ أَهلَ الْمُعروفِ في الدُّنْيا هُمْ أَهْلُ المعروفِ في الآخِرَةِ".

"Seek kindness from the merciful among my nation, and you will live in their shelter. Do not seek it from those whose hearts are hard, for the curse descends upon them. O 'Ali! Allah created kindness and created for it people, so He made it beloved to them, and made their deeds beloved to them, and directed its seekers to them, as He directs water to barren land so that it may give life, and its people live by it. Indeed, the people of kindness in this world are the people of kindness in the Hereafter."
