Al Mufeed, from Al Husayn Bin Muhammad Al Tammar, from Muhammad Bin Qasim Al Anbary, from Ahmad Ibn Ubeyd, from Abdul Raheem Bin Qays Al Hilali, from Al Amry, from Abu Hamza Al Sa’ady, from his father who said, ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws bequeathed to Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws, and heasws said among what heasws bequeathed with to himasws: ‘O myasws sonasws!

Surely, the affiliation of the person is in his Religion, and his character is his morals, and his essence is his intellect’’. [14]
Al Mufeed, from Ismail Bin Muhammad the scribe, from Abdul Samad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Haroun Bin Isa, from Abu Talha Al Khuzaie, from Umar Bin Abad, from Abu Furat who said, ‘I read in the book of Lawhab Bin Mandah, and it was written in the middle of the book, ‘This is what the wise ones have placed in their books: –
‘The striving in the worship of Allahazwj is the most profitable of trades, nor is there any wealth more supportive than the intellect, nor any poverty more severe than the ignorance, and ethics are better than inheritance, and good mannerisms is the best of friends, and the inclination (from Allahazwj) is the best guide, nor is there any backbone stronger than the consultation, nor any loneliness more lonelier than the self-conceit, nor does the one of old age covet the praise lavished upon him’.
