A Believer’s Signs and Qualities

14ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ هَيِّنُونَ لَيِّنُونَ كَالْجَمَلِ الأنِفِ إِذَا قِيدَ انْقَادَ وَإِنْ أُنِيخَ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ اسْتَنَاخَ.
14. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from abu al-Bakhtari in a marfu’ manner from the Imam who has said the following: ‘‘Believers are of serenity and soft words. They are easy to lead like the camel harnessed by the nose, who does not resist the leader who makes him sit even on a rock.”
