Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from abu Wallad al-Hannat from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام has said, ‘Signs of perfect religion of a Muslim are his restraining from speaking things that do not concern him, his reduced disagreement, his forbearance, patience and his excellent moral behavior.’”
