And with the first chain of narrations, from ‘Ali ibn Mahzyar from Ja’far ibn Muhammad, from Ismail ibn Abbad, from (Abdullah) ibn Bikair, from: Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon both of them, who said: "Surely, we love from amongst our Shi’ahs, one who is wise, understanding, well-versed in religion, tolerant, obliging, patient, truthful and faithful." Then he said: "Surely, Allah has specially blessed His Prophets with the noble virtues of good behaviour.

So, whoever has those qualities, should praise and thank Allah for it, and whoever does not have them, should earnestly entreat and seek from Allah." He said: "I asked: May I be your ransom, what are the virtues?" He said: "Piety, contentment, patience, being grateful, tolerant, modesty, generosity, jealously, guarding ones honour, beneficence, truthful in speech and honesty about anything held on trust."
