`Ali b. Ahmad b. `Abdullah b. Ahmad b. Abi `Abdillah al-Barqi narrated to us from his father from Ahmad b. Abi `Abdillah from al-Husayn b. Sa`id. He said: Ibrahim b. Abi’l Bilad narrated to us from `Ubaydullah b. al-Walid al-Wisafi. He said: Abu Ja`far al-Baqir said:

The doers of established virtues (ma`ruf) protect themselves from those who compete in evil. Doing any established virtue is a charity. The people of established virtues in this world are the people of established virtues in the Hereafter. The people of falsehood in this world are the people of falsehood in the Hereafter. The first people to enter Paradise are the people of established virtues, and the first people to enter the Fire are the people of falsehood.
