The Rewards & Punishments of Deeds · Hadith 1082 (#Ḥadīth #1)

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ مُوسَی عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ بَکْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ أَسْرَعَ الْخَیْرِ ثَوَاباً الْبِرُّ وَ إِنَّ أَسْرَعَ الشَّرِّ عِقَاباً الْبَغْیُ وَ کَفَی بِالْمَرْءِ عَیْباً أَنْ یَنْظُرَ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَی مَا یَعْمَی عَنْهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ یُعَیِّرَ النَّاسَ بِمَا لَا یَسْتَطِیعُ تَرْکَهُ وَ یُؤْذِیَ جَلِیسَهُ بِمَا لَا یَعْنِیهِ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “The reward of good done to someone is rewarded earlier than other good deeds and an injustice done to someone is punished earlier than other bad deeds. It is enough for one to have the bad quality of peeping into confidential matters of other people, to continue criticizing others for defects he himself has and to trouble people with senseless talks.”
