Hadith 863
۞
35. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Muhammad ibn ‘Arafah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“The Holy Prophet once asked, ‘Do you want me to tell you who is more similar to me? They replied, ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah.’ The Holy Prophet then said, ‘It is he whose moral behavior is most excellent, whose sheltering for protection is most gentle, who is most virtuous toward his relatives, of the most intense love for his brothers in religion, who bears the most patience for the truth, who suppresses his anger the most, whose forgiveness is most graceful and whose yielding to justice is most strict in both relaxed and irritated conditions.’”
35ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَرَفَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) أَ لا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَشْبَهِكُمْ بِي قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ الله قَالَ أَحْسَنُكُمْ خُلُقاً وَأَلْيَنُكُمْ كَنَفاً وَأَبَرُّكُمْ بِقَرَابَتِهِ وَأَشَدُّكُمْ حُبّاً لِإِخْوَانِهِ فِي دِينِهِ وَأَصْبَرُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَأَكْظَمُكُمْ لِلْغَيْظِ وَأَحْسَنُكُمْ عَفْواً وَأَشَدُّكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ إِنْصَافاً فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ.
