hadith 1372

Imam Sadiq (a.s) was asked what the most suitable characteristics of a man are. He said: “Dignity without being awesome, generosity without demanding something in return, and attending to affairs other than worldly affairs.”

قيل لأبي عبد الله (عليه السلام): أي الخصال بالمرء أجمل؟ قال: وقار بلا مهابة، وسماحة بلا طلب مكافأة، وتشاغل بغير متاع في الدنيا.
