Delightful Appearance

5ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ صَنَائِعُ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَحُسْنُ الْبِشْرِ يَكْسِبَانِ الْمَحَبَّةَ وَيُدْخِلانِ الْجَنَّةَ وَالْبُخْلُ وَعُبُوسُ الْوَجْهِ يُبْعِدَانِ مِنَ الله وَيُدْخِلانِ النَّارَ.
5. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from Hammad from Rib’I from Fudayl who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far or Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام has said, ‘Doing lawful favors to others and having a delightful appearance earns love and lead one to paradise. Stinginess and a frowning face lead one away from Allah and into fire (of hell).”’
