31-318 Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Al-Husayn ibn Yusuf ibn Zariq al-Baghdadi narrated that Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Anbasa - a servant of Al-Rashid - quoted on the authority of Darim ibn Qabaysa ibn Nahshal ibn Majma al-Nahsheli al-Sa’eh in Samarra that Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) quoted on the authority of his father (a.s.), on the authority of his forefather (a.s.), on the authority of Ali (a.s.), that the Prophet (S) said, “Do good to all people whether they deserve it or not.

If the one to whom you do good does not deserve it, you deserve to do good yourself.”
