Chapter 29 | One who Lacks Five Characteristics Shall Not Be Beneficial

5-35 وقال عليه السلام: خمس خصال من فقد واحدة منهن لم يزل ناقص العيش، زائل العقل، مشغول القلب: فأولها صحة البدن، والثانية الامن، والثالثة السعة في الرزق، والرابعة الانيس الموافق -. قلت: وما الانيس الموافق؟ قال الزوجة الصالحة، والولد الصالح، والخليط الصالح -. والخامسة وهي تجمع هذه الخصال: الدعة

5-35 He (MGB) also said, “Anyone who doesn’t have one of the following will always have an incomplete life; be unwise and always worried: health, security; abundance of daily bread; a sympathetic companion.” He (MGB) was asked, “Who would constitute a sympathetic companion?” He (MGB) replied, “A good wife; a good child or a good friend. And the last thing which includes all the others is comfort.”
