3ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) ـ لعبد اللّه بنمسعود ـ: يابنَ مسعودٍ، اِحذَر سُكرَ الخَطيئةِ ؛ فإنَّ لِلخَطيئةِ سُكراً كَسُكرِ الشَّرابِ ، بل هِي أشَدُّ سُكراً مِنهُ ، يقولُ اللّهُ تعالى: «صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فهُم لايَرْجِعُونَ». |
| 3– The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'O Ibn Mas`aud, be wary of the intoxication brought about by sin, for verily the sin intoxicates just as much as alcohol if not more. Allah, most High, says, "Deaf, dumb and blind, they do not apply reason"[ Qur'an 2:171].[ Makarim al-Akhlaq, v. 2, p. 352, no. 266] |

4ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): السُّكرُ أربَعُ سَكراتٍ: سُكرُ الشَّرابِ ، وسُكرُ المالِ ، وسُكرُ النَّومِ ، وسُكرُ المُلكِ . |
| 4– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'There are four types of intoxication: the intoxication induced by drink, the intoxication induced by wealth, the intoxication of sleep, and the intoxication induced by power.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 10, p. 114, no. 1] |

5ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): يَنبَغِي للعاقِلِ أن يَحتَرِسَ مِن سُكرِ المالِ ، وسُكرِ القُدرَةِ ، وسُكرِ العِلمِ ، وسُكرِ المَدحِ ، وسُكرِ الشَّبابِ ، فإنَّ لِكُلِّ ذلكَ رِياحاً خَبيثةً تَسلُبُ العَقلَ وتَستَخِفُّ الوَقارَ . |
| 5– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The man of reason must be on his guard against the intoxication of wealth, of power, of knowledge, of praise and of youth, for all of these have offensive vapours about them that strip away one's reason and carry away one's dignity.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 10948] |
|
6ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): سُكرُ الغَفلَةِ والغُرورِ أبعَدُ إفاقَةً مِن سُكرِ الخُمُورِ . |
| 6– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The intoxication of heedlessness and arrogance take longer to regain consciousness from than the intoxication of wines.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 5651] |
