قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أُولُو النُّهَى قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ أُولُو النُّهَى قَالَ هُمْ أُولُو الْأَخْلَاقِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ الْأَحْلَامِ الرَّزِينَةِ وَ صَلَةُ الْأَرْحَامِ وَ الْبَرَرَةُ بِالْأُمَّهَاتِ وَ الْآبَاءِ وَ الْمُتَعَاهِدِينَ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَ الْجِيرَانِ وَ الْيَتَامَى وَ يُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَ يُفْشُونَ السَّلَامَ فِي الْعَالَمِ وَ يُصَلُّونَ وَ النَّاسُ نِيَامٌ غَافِلُونَ .
Translation
And by his chain, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The Prophet<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The best of you are the possessors of the ‘<span class="iTxt">Nuha</span>’. It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! Who are the possessors of the ‘<span class="iTxt">Nuha</span>’?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The possessors of the excellent morals, and having strong power of reason, and the helpers of the relatives, and the righteous with the mothers and the fathers, and the ones who are committed to (help) the poor, and the neighbours, and the orphans, and are feeding the food, and they are disclosing the greetings (first) in the world, and they are praying <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> while the people are sleeping being oblivious’.
