34. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Bakr Bin Saaleh, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Abdullah Bin Al-Mugheira who said: ‘It has been narrated to me by Ja’far Bin Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al-Tayyaar (as), from Abu Abdullah (asws), from his (asws) father (asws) having said
‘The Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) said: ‘The status of the man is (in accordance to) his Religion, and his chivalry, and his intellect, and his nobility, and his beauty, and his generosity, and his piety.
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ [بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الطَّيَّارِ] عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ( عليهما السلام ) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَسَبُ الْمَرْءِ دِينُهُ وَ مُرُوءَتُهُ وَ عَقْلُهُ وَ شَرَفُهُ وَ جَمَالُهُ وَ كَرَمُهُ تَقْوَاهُ .
