5 hadiths
رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلرَّبِيعِ اَلشَّامِيِّ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ اَلْبَيْتُ غَاصُّ بِأَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يُحْسِنْ صُحْبَةَ مَنْ صَحِبَهُ وَ مُرَافَقَةَ مَنْ رَافَقَهُ وَ مُمَالَحَةَ مَنْ مَالَحَهُ وَ مُخَالَقَةَ مَنْ خَالَقَهُ.
It is narrated from Abu al-Rabi‘ al-Shami, who said: "We were with Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, and the house was crowded with people. Imam عليه السلام said: 'Whoever does not deal kindly with those who accompany him, keep good company with those who travel with him, be courteous with those who share a meal with him, and display good character toward those who interact with him, is not from us.'"
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 122
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ اَلْجَمَّالُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ كَانَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «مَا يُعْبَأُ بِمَنْ يَؤُمُّ هَذَا اَلْبَيْتَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ ثَلاَثُ خِصَالٍ خُلُقٌ يُخَالِقُ بِهِ مَنْ صَحِبَهُ وَ حِلْمٌ يَمْلِكُ بِهِ غَضَبَهُ وَ وَرَعٌ يَحْجُزُهُ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ».
Safwan al-Jammal narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "My father عليه السلام used to say: 'There is no regard for the one who visits this House (the Ka'bah) if they do not possess three qualities: good character to interact with those they accompany, forbearance to control their anger, and piety to refrain from what Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Glorious, has forbidden.'"
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 122
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لَيْسَ مِنَ اَلْمُرُوءَةِ أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ اَلرَّجُلُ بِمَا يَلْقَى فِي اَلسَّفَرِ مِنْ خَيْرٍ أَوْ شَرٍّ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "It is not from dignity for a person to recount the good or bad experiences they encounter during a journey."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ اَلْكَلْبِيِّ قَالَ: أَوْصَانِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ «أُوصِيكَ بِتَقْوَى اَللَّهِ وَ أَدَاءِ اَلْأَمَانَةِ وَ صِدْقِ اَلْحَدِيثِ وَ حُسْنِ اَلصُّحْبَةِ لِمَنْ صَحِبَكَ وَ «لاٰ قُوَّةَ إِلاّٰ بِاللّٰهِ» »
It is narrated from Ammar ibn Marwan al-Kalbi, who said: "Abu Abdullah عليه السلام advised me, saying: 'I advise you to fear Allah سبحانه وتعالى, fulfill trusts, speak truthfully, and maintain good companionship with those who accompany you. There is no power except with Allah سبحانه وتعالى.'"
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «مَنْ خَالَطْتَ فَإِنِ اِسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَكُونَ يَدُكَ اَلْعُلْيَا عَلَيْهِ فَافْعَلْ.
Muhammad ibn Muslim narrated from Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, who said: "Whoever you associate with, if you are able to ensure that your hand is above theirs (in generosity and giving), then do so."
