4-29 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن موسى بن جعفر بن أبي جعفر الكميداني، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن عبد الله بن سنان، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال:
ثلاث من كن فيه أوجبن له أربعا على الناس: من إذا حدثهم لم يكذبهم وإذا خالطهم لم يظلمهم وإذا وعدهم لم يخلفهم، وجب أن تظهر في الناس عدالته، وتظهر فيهم مروءته، وأن تحرم عليهم غيبته، وأن تجب عليهم اخوته

“Four things are incumbent to do for anyone who has the following three characteristics: one who doesn’t lie to the people when he talks; one who doesn’t oppress the people in his dealings with them; one who doesn’t act opposite to what he promises. Such a person has perfect chivalry and justice. It is incumbent support his justness; to act like a brother with him; support his justness; not gossip about him; treat him like a brother.”
