بعض أصحابنا عن حنان بن سدير عن محمد بن طلحة عن زرارة عن أبى جعفر عليه السلام قال: سمعته يقول: أيما عبد كان له صورة حسنة مع موضع لا يشينه ثم تواضع لله كان من خالصة الله قال: قلت: ما موضع لا يشينه؟ قال: لا يكون ضرب فيه سفاح.
17.One of our companions narrated from Ḥanān ibn Sadīr, from Muḥammad ibn Ṭalḥah, from Zurārah, from Abū Jaʿfar whom he heard saying, “Whichever servant has a handsome appearance along with an untainted position, then he humbles himself before Allah, he will be among the special [chosen] ones of Allah.” He (the narrator) said, “I asked, ‘What is [the meaning of] an untainted position?’ He replied, ‘He should not have been sullied by debauchery.’”
