4-77 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father and Muhammad ibn al-Hassan - may God be pleased with them - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Al-Haysam ibn Abi Masruq al-Nehdi who linked it up through a chain of narrators to Al-Hassan ibn Ali (MGB), “There are four types of people. Some people are good-tempered but poor. Some people are wealthy but bad-tempered. Some people are neither good-tempered nor wealthy. They are the worst of the people. However, there are some people who are both good-tempered and wealthy. They are the best of the people.”
IsnādMon père et Muhammad ibn al-Hasan (qu'Allah soit satisfait d'eux deux) m'ont informé, ils ont dit: Sa'd ibn 'Abd Allah nous a informé, de la part d'Al-Haytham ibn Abi Masruq Al-Nahdi, avec sa chaîne de transmission remontant à Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali (sur eux la paix) qui a dit:
Les gens sont de quatre types: parmi eux, celui qui a un bon caractère mais pas de subsistance, parmi eux, celui qui a une subsistance mais pas de bon caractère, parmi eux, celui qui n'a ni bon caractère ni subsistance, et c'est le pire des gens, et parmi eux, celui qui a à la fois un bon caractère et une subsistance, et c'est le meilleur des gens.
