1747. THE SELF-REPROACHING SOUL

(وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ) .1

"And I swear by the self-blaming soul!" 2

6193.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله في وصيَّتهِ لابنِ مَسعودٍ - : يابنَ مَسعودٍ ، أكثِرْ مِن الصّالِحاتِ والبِرِّ ؛ فإنّ المُحسِنَ والمُسِي‏ءَ يَندَمانِ ، يَقولُ المُحسِنُ : يا لَيتَني ازدَدتُ مِن الحَسَناتِ ! ويقولُ المُسِي‏ءُ : قَصَّرتُ ، وتَصديقُ ذلكَ قَولُهُ تعالى‏ : (ولا اُقْسِمُ بالنَّفْسِ اللَّوّامَةِ) .3

6193. The Prophet (SAWA), in his advice to Ibn Masud said, 'O Ibn Masud, increase in the acts of righteousness and good, for both the good [people] and the bad will regret; the good-doer will say, 'If only I had done more good!' And the bad-doer will say, 'I was negligent', and the evidence for this is the verse: "And I swear by the self-blaming soul!" 4
