32ـ وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أُولُو النُّهَى قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ الله وَمَنْ أُولُو النُّهَى قَالَ هُمْ أُولُو الأخْلاقِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَالأحْلامِ الرَّزِينَةِ وَصَلَةُ الأرْحَامِ وَالْبَرَرَةُ بِالأمَّهَاتِ وَالآبَاءِ وَالْمُتَعَاهِدِينَ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْجِيرَانِ وَالْيَتَامَى وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَيُفْشُونَ السَّلامَ فِي الْعَالَمِ وَيُصَلُّونَ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ غَافِلُونَ.


32. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from abu Ja’far (a.s) who has said the following: “The Holy Prophet has said, ‘The best among you are those who possess al-Nuha’.’ He was asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, who are possessors of al-Nuha’?’ He then said, ‘They are those who possess excellent moral discipline and a heavy power of reason, maintain good relations with relatives, who are kind to mothers and fathers, committed to help the poor, neighbors, orphans, who serve food (to the needy), who spread peace in the world and who pray when people sleep negligently.’”
