3-178 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Isa quoted Hammad ibn Isa, who linked it up through other narrators to Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) that in his will to his son Muhammad ibn al-Hanifeh, the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) said, “
I admonish you against haughtiness, ill temperedness and impatience since then you will have no friends and everyone will avoid you. Try to be kind with people and be patient with the losses which the people make you suffer. Be generous with your friends regarding yourself and your wealth. Accept the company of your friends and associate with them. Be warm and kind to the general public. Treat your enemy justly. Protect your religion and honor. This is much better for your religion and worldly life.”
3-178 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى، عمن ذكره، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
قال أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام في وصيته لابنه محمد بن الحنفية: إياك والعجب، وسوء الخلق، وقلة الصبر، فانه لا يستقيم لك على هذه الخصال الثلاث صاحب، ولا يزال لك عليها من الناس مجانب، وألزم نفسك التودد، وصبر على مؤونات الناس نفسك، وابذل لصديقك نفسك ومالك، ولمعرفتك رفدك ومحضرك، وللعامة بشرك ومحبتك، ولعدوك عدلك وإنصافك، واضنن بدينك وعرضك عن كل أحد، فانه أسلم لدينك ودنياك
