I hurried behind Amir-ul-Momineen (asws), so he (asws) said to me: ‘O Juweyriyya! Those idiots were not destroyed except by the sound of the shoes behind them which followed them’. I said, ‘I came to ask you (asws) about three – about the nobility, and the chivalry, and the intellect’. He (asws) said: ‘As for the nobility, so the one whom ‘السُّلْطَانُ’ Allah (azwj) has Ennobled, is noble, and as for the chivalrous, so it is the righteous means for living, and as for the intellect, so the one who fears Allah (azwj) is the intellectual’.
