1096. TESTING PEOPLE THROUGH Truthfulness in Speech

3474.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : لا تَغتَرُّوا بِصلاتِهِم ولا بِصِيامِهِم ؛ فإنَّ الرجُلَ ربّما لَهِجَ بِالصلاةِ والصومِ حتّى‏ لَو تَرَكَهُ استَوحَشَ ، ولكنِ اختَبِرُوهُم عِند صِدقِ الحَديثِ وأداءِ الأمانَةِ .¹

3474.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Do not be deceived by their [lengthy] prayer or their [abundant] fasting, for verily it may be that a man becomes so attached to his prayer and his fasting that were he to stop doing them, he would be greatly disturbed. Rather test these people through the truth in their speech and their prompt return of goods entrusted in their care.’²

3475.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : أحسَنُ مِنَ الصِدقِ قائلُهُ ، وخَيرٌ مِن الخَيرِ فاعِلُهُ .³

3475.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Better than the truth itself is the one who tells it, and better than the good deed itself is the one who performs it.’⁴
