Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 3|Chapter 45
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "اَلشَّجَاعَةُ فِي أَهْلِ خُرَاسَانَ وَ اَلْبَاهُ فِي أَهْلِ بَرْبَرَ وَ اَلسَّخَاءُ وَ اَلْحَسَدُ فِي اَلْعَرَبِ فَتَخَيَّرُوا لِنُطَفِكُمْ".
Ibn Abi Umair narrated from Yahya ibn Imran from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام who said: "Bravery is found among the people of Khurasan, physical vigor among the people of Barbar, and generosity and envy among the Arabs. Therefore, choose carefully where you place your seed."
