الْمَكَارِمُ عَشْرٌ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِيكَ فَلْتَكُنْ فَإِنَّهَا تَكُونُ فِي الرَّجُلِ وَ لَا تَكُونُ فِي وَلَدِهِ وَ تَكُونُ فِي الْوَلَدِ وَ لَا تَكُونُ فِي أَبِيهِ وَ تَكُونُ فِي الْعَبْدِ وَ لَا تَكُونُ فِي الْحُرِّ قِيلَ وَ مَا هُنَّ قَالَ صِدْقُ الْبَأْسِ وَ صِدْقُ اللِّسَانِ وَ أَدَاءُ الْأَمَانَةِ وَ صِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ وَ إِقْرَاءُ الضَّيْفِ وَ إِطْعَامُ السَّائِلِ وَ الْمُكَافَأَةُ عَلَى الصَّنَائِعِ وَ التَّذَمُّمُ لِلْجَارِ وَ التَّذَمُّمُ لِلصَّاحِبِ وَ رَأْسُهُنَّ الْحَيَاءُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Haysam Bin Abu Masrouq, from Yazeed Bin Is’haq Shairin, from Al Husayn Bin Atiyya, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The nobilities are ten. So if you have the capacity that they should happen to be in you, so let it happen, for these can happen to be in the man and not happen to be in his son, and these can happen to be in the son and not happen to be in his father, and these can happen to be in the slave and not happen to be in the free (one)’. It was said, ‘And what are these?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘True bravery, and truthful of the tongue, and paying the entrustments, and helping the relatives, and entertaining the guest, and feeding the beggar, and the rewarding upon the works, and the responsibility for the neighbour, and the responsibility for the companions – and the head of these is ‘الْحَيَاءُ’ the bashfulness’.
