قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لِرَجُلٍ‌ اجْعَلْ قَلْبَكَ قَرِيناً بَرّاً- أَوْ وَلَداً وَاصِلًا وَ اجْعَلْ عَمَلَكَ وَالِداً تَتَّبِعُهُ وَ اجْعَلْ نَفْسَكَ عَدُوّاً تُجَاهِدُهَا وَ اجْعَلْ مَالَكَ عَارِيَّةً تَرُدُّهَا.

Read English translationMuhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn

7. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) in a marfu’ manner from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following to a man: “Make your heart a virtuous companion for yourself or like a child who does not fail to maintain good relations with parents. Consider your deeds as your father whom you follow, consider your soul as your enemy against whom you strive and consider your properties as borrowed for the safe return of which you are responsible.”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
