قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ رِجَالِكُمْ قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ رِجَالِكُمُ التَّقِيَّ النَّقِيَّ السَّمْحَ الْكَفَّيْنِ النَّقِيَّ الطَّرَفَيْنِ الْبَرَّ بِوَالِدَيْهِ وَ لَا يُلْجِئُ عِيَالَهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Riab, from Abu Hamza, from Jabir Bin Abdullah who said, ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Shall I<sup>saww</sup> inform you with the best of your men?’ We said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>!’ The best of your men is the pious, and the clean, and the forgiving of the hands, clean of the two sides (mouth and backside), the righteous with the parents, and does not leave his dependants to be a burden on) others’.
