1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ أَبِي يَقُولُ مَا يُعْبَأُ مَنْ يَؤُمُّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ ثَلاثُ خِصَالٍ خُلُقٌ يُخَالِقُ بِهِ مَنْ صَحِبَهُ أَوْ حِلْمٌ يَمْلِكُ بِهِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ أَوْ وَرَعٌ يَحْجُزُهُ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ الله.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Safwan al-Jammal who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘My father would say, “One who decides to visit this House is not properly prepared without three characteristics. They are moral discipline with which he behaves with his companion, forbearance with which he overcomes his anger, and abstaining (staying away from sins) which keeps him away from violating the laws of Allah.’””
