5-10 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن محمد بن أحمد، عن موسى بن عمر، عن أبي علي بن راشد رفعه إلى الصادق عليه السلام أنه قال: خمس هن كما أقول: ليست لبخيل راحة، ولا لحسود لذة، ولا لملوك وفاء ولا لكذاب مروءة، ولا يسود سفيه

5-10 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad, on the authority of Musa ibn Umar, on the authority of Abi Ali ibn Rashid who linked it up through a chain of narrators to Imam as-Sadiq (MGB), “There are five things which are as I say. Greedy persons have no comfort. Jealous persons have no pleasure. Rulers are not loyal. Liars are not manly. Fools will not become masters.”
