Arabic text

3-36 حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن الهيثم بن أبي مسروق النهدي، عن عبدالعزيز بن عمر، عن أحمد بن عمر الحلبي قال: قلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: أي الخصال بالمرء أجمل؟ قال عليه السلام: وقار بلا مهابة، وسماح بلا طلب مكافأة، وتشاغل بغير متاع الدنيا

Translation

3-36 Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Al-Haysam ibn Abi Masruq al-Nehdi, on the authority of Abdul Aziz ibn Umar, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Umar al-Halabi, “I asked Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB), ‘Which characteristics are better for a man?’ The Imam (MGB) replied, ‘Dignity without being awesome, generosity without demanding something in return, and attending to affairs other than worldly affairs.’”

Translation: Dr. Ali Peiravi — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
