Arabic text

علي بن النعمان عن عمرو بن شمر عن جابر عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: أيها الناس والله انى لاعلم انكم لا تسعون الناس بأموالكم ولكن بالطلاقة وحسن الخلق قال: وسمعته يقول: رحم الله كل سهل طلق.

Translation

13.ʿAlī ibn al-Nuʿmān narrated from ʿAmr ibn Shimr, from Jābir, from Abū Jaʿfar (a) who said, “The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, ‘O people! By Allah, I surely know that you cannot bring [joy or] comfort to the people with your wealth, rather [you can only do it] with cheerfulness and good character.’”[1] He (the narrator) also said that he heard him say, “May Allah have mercy on every easy-going, cheerful one.”
