Arabic text

166 - وَبِهذَا الإِسناد عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِي طالِب‏ عَلَيْهِالسَّلامُ قالَ: لا تَجِدُ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ أصلَعَ رَجُل سُوءٍ، ولا تَجِدُ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ كَوسَجاً رَجُلاً صالِحاً وَاَصلَعَ سُوءٍ خَيْرٌ مِن كَوسَجٍ صالِحٍ.

Translation

31-166 According to the same documentation, Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) said, “You will not find a bad man among even forty men who are bald in the front. You will not find any good man from amongst forty men who cannot grow any hair on the chin.”
