3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَلادٍ الْحَنَّاطِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَمَلَ إِيمَانُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَرْنِهِ إِلَى قَدَمِهِ ذُنُوباً لَمْ يَنْقُصْهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ وَهُوَ الصِّدْقُ وَأَدَاءُ الأمَانَةِ وَالْحَيَاءُ وَحُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu Wallad al-Hannat from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Whoever has four things, his belief is complete even if he is covered with sins from his top to his toes, and it will not harm him. They are truthfulness, safe return of the trust, bashfulness and excellent moral behavior.”
