8. He (Ali ibn Ibrahim) has narrated through his chain of narrators the following: “Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) has said, ‘
A showoff has three signs: he is very active when people are present, very lazy when he is alone and he loves to be praised in all matters.’”
8ـ وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) ثَلاثُ عَلامَاتٍ لِلْمُرَائِي يَنْشَطُ إِذَا رَأَى النَّاسَ وَيَكْسَلُ إِذَا كَانَ وَحْدَهُ وَيُحِبُّ أَنْ يُحْمَدَ فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِهِ.
