مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ وَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ الْحَزْمُ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ الْغِلْظَةُ فِي الْكَبِدِ وَ الْحَيَاءُ فِي الرِّيَةِ. وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ لِأَبِي جَمِيلَةَ الْعَقْلُ مَسْكَنُهُ فِي الْقَلْبِ.
