Three Characteristics Indicate Affluence, Beauty and Defeat of Your Enemies
3-33 حدثنا حمزة بن محمد بن أحمد العلوي رضي الله عنه قال: أخبرني علي ابن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن النوفلي، عن السكوني، عن جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه،عن آبائه، عن علي عليهم السلام قال: الدهن يظهر الغنى، والثياب تظهر الجمال، وحسن الملكة يكبت الاعداء
3-33 Hamzih ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Alavi - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim quoted his father, on the authority of Al-Nawfaly, on the authority of Al-Sakoony, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his forefathers (MGB), on the authority of Ali (MGB), “Using good scent indicates affluence. Wearing good garments indicates beauty. Having a good temper defeats one’s enemies.”
