1. We were told by Ahmad bin Ibrahim bin Waleed al-Sulami, that he said: We were told by Abu’l-Fadl, Muhammed bin Ahmad al-Katib al-Naisabouri, with a chain of narrators that he ascribed to the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, that he said: The perfection of man is in six traits: with his two small things, his two big things and his two guises. As for his two small things, they are his heart and tongue; if he fights, he fights with pneuma, and if he speaks, he speaks with a tongue. As for his two big things, they are his intellect and enthusiasm. As for his two guises, they are his property and beauty.
IsnādAhmad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Walid as-Sulami nous a informés, il a dit: Abu al-Fadl Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Katib an-Naysaburi nous a informés avec une chaîne de transmission remontant à l'Imam Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) qu'il a dit:
"La perfection de l'homme réside en six qualités: les deux plus petites et les deux plus grandes, ainsi que son apparence. Quant aux plus petites, ce sont son cœur et sa langue. S'il combat, il combat avec justice, et s'il parle, il parle avec éloquence. Quant aux plus grandes, ce sont son intellect et son ambition. Et en ce qui concerne son apparence, c'est sa richesse et sa beauté."
