3-172 أخبرني سليمان بن أحمد بن أيوب اللخمي قال: حدثنا عبدالوهاب ابن خراجة، قال: حدثنا أبوكريب قال: حدثنا علي بن جعفر العبسي قال: حدثنا الحسن بن الحسين العلوي، عن أبيه الحسين بن زيد، عن جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه، عن علي بن أبي طالب عليهم السلام، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله قال: ثلاث من لم تكن فيه فليس مني ولا من الله عز وجل، قيل: يا رسول الله وما هن؟ قال: حلم يرد به جهل الجاهل، وحسن خلق يعيش به في الناس، وورع يحجزه عن معاصي الله عز وجل

What are they?’ The Prophet (MGB) replied, ‘Patience with which you forgive the ignorance of the ignorant ones; being good-tempered with the people; and piety which restrains you from rebelling against the Honorable the Exalted God.’”
