8.Ḥammād ibn ʿĪsā narrated from al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Mukhtār, from al- ʿAlāʾ ibn Kāmil who said
“Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) said, ‘Whenever you mingle with people, if it is possible for you to ensure that you always have the upper hand[1] over the one you mingle with, then do so. Verily the servant may have some shortcomings in his worship, yet he has a good character so Allah elevates him thereby to the level of one who fasts [and worships often].’”
حماد بن عيسى عن الحسين بن المختار عن العلاء بن كامل قال
قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: إذا خالطت الناس فان أستطع ان لا تخالط أحدا من الناس الا كانت يدك عليه العليا فافعل فان العبد يكون منه بعض التقصير في العبادة ويكون له الخلق الحسن فيبلغه الله بخلقه درجة الصائم القائم.
