Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “They brought several captives to the Prophet (a.s). He ordered all but one off them to be killed. That captive asked: 'O' Prophet of God! Why did you free me from among us?” The Prophet (a.s) said: “Gabriel informed me that God said that you have five characteristics which God and His Prophet love: serious zeal about your family, generosity, being good-tempered, honesty, and bravery.” When the man heard this he accepted Islam and became a good Muslim. He accompanied the Prophet in a holy war, really fought hard and was martyred.
قال أبو جعفر (عليه السلام): اتي النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) بأسارى فأمر بقتلهم، وخلا رجلا من بينهم، فقال الرجل: يا نبي الله، كيف أطلقت عني من بينهم؟ فقال: أخبرني جبرئيل عن الله جل جلاله إن فيك خمس خصال يحبها الله ورسوله: الغيرة الشديدة على حرمك، والسخاء، وحسن الخلق، وصدق اللسان، والشجاعة، فلما سمعها الرجل أسلم وأحسن إسلامه، وقاتل مع رسول الله قتالا شديدا حتى استشهد.
