16. He (‘a) said about those whom he praised: When they speak, they are truthful and when they are silent, they are not surpassed. When they look, they take lesson and when they turn away, they are not distracted. When they talk, they remember [Allah] and when they are quiet, they contemplate.

16 «وقالَ عَليه السّلامُ فيمَنْ أثْنى عَلَيْهِ »: إنْ نَطَقُوا صَدَقُوا، وإنْ صَمَتُوا لَمْ يُسْبَقُوا، إنْ نَظَرُوا اِعْتَبَروُا، وإنْ أعْرَضُوا لَمْ يَلْهُوا، إنْ تَكَلَّمُوا ذَكَرُوا، وإنْ سَكَتُوا تَفَكَّرُوا.
