ENGLISH TRANSLATION

10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Rib’i from his chain of narrators from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “The Imam said, ‘My father once said to me, “My son, there is nothing more delightful to the eyes of your father than the drop (feeling) of anger that precedes patience. My receiving the most noble of the bounties does not bring me any happiness if it may cuase humiliation to my soul.’””
