یَا بُنَىَّ إِنَّهَا إِنْ تَکُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّة مِنْ خَرْدَل فَتَکُنْ فِی صَخْرَة أَوْ فِی السَّمَـوَاتِ أَوْ فِی الاَْرْضِ یَأْتِ بِهَا اللهُ إِنَّ اللهَ لَطِیفٌ خَبِیرٌ(( 16 ))

16- O, MY SON! IF THERE IS A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED IN (THE HEART OF) A ROCK, OR IN THE HEAVENS, OR IN THE EARTH, ALLAH WILL BRING IT FORTH, THAT ALLAH IS SUBTLE, ALL-AWARE.

یَا بُنَىَّ أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنکَرِ وَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَکَ إِنَّ ذَلِکَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الاُْمُورِ(( 17 ))

17- O, MY SON! PERFORM THE PRAYER, AND PERSUADE GOOD AND DISSUADE EVIL, AND ENDURE WITH PATIENCE WHAT BEFALLS YOU, THAT THESE ARE AMONG THE MOST DECISIVE AFFAIRS.

وَلاَ تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّکَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلاَ تَمْشِ فِی الاَْرْضِ مَرَحاً إِنَّ اللهَ لاَ یُحِبُّ کُلَّ مُخْتَال فَخُور(( 18 ))

18- AND DO NOT TURN YOUR FACE AWAY FROM PEOPLE (WITH SCORN), AND WALK NOT PROUDLY ON THE EARTH, THAT ALLAH LOVES NOT THE BOASTERS, WHO THINK TOO MUCH OF THEMSELVES.

وَاقْصِدْ فِی مَشْیِکَ وَاغْضُضْ مِنْ صَوْتِکَ إِنَّ أَنکَرَ الاَْصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْحَمِیرِ(( 19 ))

19- AND BE MODEST IN YOUR WALK, AND LOWER YOUR VOICE, THAT THE MOST DISCORDANT OF VOICES IS THAT OF THE ASS.
