5-51 Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutevakil - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Abdullah ibn Ja’far al-Homayry quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Mahboob, on the authority of Abi Vilad (al-Hinat), on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) that Ali ibn al-Hussein as-Sajjad (MGB) said, “
Indeed the perfection of a Muslim’s faith can be recognized by the following five things: not saying absurd things; quarrelling rarely; having perseverance; being patient and being good-tempered.”
5-51 حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن أبي ولاد [الحناط]، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
كان علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام يقول: إن المعرفة بكمال دين المسلم تركه الكلام فيما لا يعنيه، وقلة المراء وحلمه وصبره وحسن خلقه
