2. We were told by my father, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Sa’ad bin Abdullah bin Abi Khalaf, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from his father, from Muhammed bin Abi ‘Umayr, from Hammad bin Uthman, that he said
"A man came to al-Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammad, (a.s.) and said: 'O son of Allah’s Messenger, inform me about the noblest of moral traits.' So he said: 'Pardoning those who wronged you, connecting with those who disconnected from you, giving those who prevented you and saying the truth, even if it may be against yourself.'"
