3-60 Muhammad ibn Ali Majiluyih - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad, on the authority of Sahl ibn Zyad, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Bashar, on the authority of Ubaydullah al-Dihqan, on the authority of Durost ibn Abi Mansoor, on the authority of Abdul Ali - the servant of the Sam Clan - that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “One’s intellect can be measured by three things: long beard, marking on his ring and nickname.”
IsnādNous a informé Muhammad ibn Ali Majilouyeh (qu'Allah soit satisfait de lui) qui a dit: Nous a informé Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar, de la part de Muhammad ibn Ahmad, de la part de Sahl ibn Ziyad, de la part de Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Bashir, de la part d'Ubaydullah al-Dahqan, de la part de Durust ibn Abi Mansur, de la part d'Abdullah, le serviteur de la famille de Sam, de la part d'Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui).
L'intellect d'un homme est jugé en trois choses: la longueur de sa barbe, le dessin de son anneau, et son surnom.
