Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “There are ten characteristics which are the noblest. Try to attain them. They may be in a servant, and not in his master. They may be in a father but not in his son.” They asked him what these characteristics were. He said: “Real courage honesty in speech, trustworthiness, maintaining the relations of kin, hospitality, feeding the needy, compensating for other people's kindness, respecting the rights of neighbors, respecting the rights of friends, and above all having shame.”
وعنه (عليه السلام) قال
إن المكارم عشر، فإن استطعت أن تكون فيك فلتكن، فإنها قد تكون في العبد ولا تكون في سيده، وتكون في الرجل ولا تكون في ولده، قيل: وما هن؟ قال: صدق البأس، وصدق اللسان، وأداء الأمانة، وصلة الرحم، وقرى الضيف، وإطعام السائل، والمكافأة عن الصنائع، والتذمم للجار، والتذمم للصاحب، ورأسهن الحياء.
