ثمّ قال صلّى الله عليه وآله لسلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليه:

 يا سلمان، إنّ لك في علّتك إذا أعتللت ثلاث خصال: أنت من الله تبارك وتعالى بذكر، ودعاءك فيها مستجاب، ولا تدع العلّة عليك ذنباً إلاّ حطّته متّعك الله بالعافية إلى إنقضاء أجلك.

ثمّ قال رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وآله لأبي ذرّ رحمة الله عليه:

يا أبا ذر، إيّاك والسؤال، فإنّه ذلّ حاضر، وفقر متعجّل وفيه حساب طويل يوم القيامة. يا أبا ذر تعيش وحدك، وتموت وحدك، وتدخل الجنّة وحدك، يسعد بك قوم من أهل العراق يتولّون غسلك وتجهيزك ودفنك.

THE PROPHET (S) THEN SAID TO SALMAN AL-FARSI, (R):

 O Salman, when you become sick, you win three things: you mention Allah continuously, your praying is answered, and all your sins are pardoned due to that ailment. Allah may make you enjoy good health up to the time of your death.27

THE PROPHET (S) THEN SAID TO ABU THARR, (R):

 O Abu Tharr, beware of petition, for it is present humiliation, current poverty, and will cause long judgment on the Day of Resurrection. O Abu Tharr, you will live alone, die alone, and enter Paradise alone. Some Iraqi people will be delighted because of you. They will wash your (dead) body, arrange your funerals, and bury you.

يا أبا ذرّ لا تسأل بكفّك وإن أتاك شيء، فاقبله.

ثمّ قال صلّى الله عليه وآله لأصحابه:

ألا أخبركم بشراركم؟
قالوا: بلى يا سول الله.
قال: المشّاوؤن بالنميمة، المفرّقون بين الأحبّة، الباغون للبراء العيب.
O Abu Tharr, do not ask from people directly, but if something is offered to you, you should accept it.28

THE PROPHET (S) THEN SAID TO HIS COMPANIONS:

 May I inform you of the evilest of you?
"Yes, you may, Allah's messenger," answered they. He (s) said:
They are the talebearers who sow enmity between the associates and stick defects to those who are acquitted of defects.29
