Ḥadīth 1

حَدَّثَنِی حَمْزَهُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: قَالَتْ لَهُ [أُمُ] سَلَمَهَ رض بِأَبِی أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّی یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْمَرْأَهُ یَکُونُ لَهَا زَوْجَانِ فَیَمُوتَانِ فَیَدْخُلَانِ الْجَنَّهَ لِأَیِّهِمَا تَکُونُ فَقَالَ النَّبِیُّ ص تَخَیَّرُ أَحْسَنَهُمَا خُلُقاً وَ خَیْرَهُمَا لِأَهْلِهِ یَا أُمَّ سَلَمَهَ إِنَّ حُسْنَ الْخُلُقِ ذَهَبَ بِخَیْرِ الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَهِ.

1. It was narrated to me by Hamzah b. Muhammad who said I was informed by Ali b. Ibrahim from his father Ibrahim b. Hashim from Musa b. Ibrahim who raised it to The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) who said: “The woman will live with one who had a better character and behavior with the people around him. O Umme Salma! Good character grants good rewards in this world and the hereafter.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ مَا حَسَّنَ اللَّهُ خَلْقَ عَبْدٍ وَ لَا خُلُقَهُ إِلَّا اسْتَحَی أَنْ یُطْعِمَ لَحْمَهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ النَّارَ.

2. It is narrated that Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) said, “There is no creature of Allah which has a good character and Allah does not feel ashamed to make his flesh a morsel of Hell.”
