6-11 Abu Mansoor Ahmad ibn Ibrahim ibn Bakr al-Khowzi narrated that Abul Qasim Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Amir ibn Suleiman at-Ta’ee in Basra, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abul Hassan Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his forefathers (MGB), on the authority of Ali (MGB) that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “
There are six forms of chivalry. Three of them are for when you are at home and three others are for when you are traveling. The three for when you are at home are: reciting the Honorable the Exalted God’s Book; building God’s mosques; and making friends for the sake of the Honorable the Exalted God. The three for when you are traveling are: to give others from your own travel provisions; being good-tempered and joking regarding things other than acts of disobedience.”
6-11 حدثنا أبومنصور أحمد بن إبراهيم بن بكر الخوزي قل: حدثنا محمد ابن زيد بن محمد البغدادي قال: حدثنا أبوالقاسم عبد الله بن أحمد بن عامر بن سليمان الطائي بالبصرة قال: حدثني أبي قال: حدثني أبوالحسن علي بن موسى الرضا، عن أبيه، عن آبائه، عن علي بن أبي طالب عليهم السلام قال
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ست من المروءة: ثلاث منها في الحضر، وثالث منها في السفر، فأماالتي في الحضر: فتلاوة كتاب الله عز وجل، وعمارة مساجد الله، واتخاذ الاخوان في الله عز وجل، وأما التي في السفر: فبذل الزاد، وحسن الخلق، والمزاح في غير المعاصي
