2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُ خَلَطَ عَمَلَهُ بِالْحِلْمِ يَجْلِسُ لِيَعْلَمَ وَيَنْطِقُ لِيَفْهَمَ لا يُحَدِّثُ أَمَانَتَهُ الأصْدِقَاءَ وَلا يَكْتُمُ شَهَادَتَهُ الأعْدَاءَ وَلا يَفْعَلُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْحَقِّ رِيَاءً وَلا يَتْرُكُهُ حَيَاءً إِنْ زُكِّيَ خَافَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ الله مِمَّا لا يَعْلَمُونَ لا يَغُرُّهُ قَوْلُ مَنْ جَهِلَهُ وَيَخْشَى إِحْصَاءَ مَا قَدْ عَمِلَهُ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

2. Muhammad ibnYahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from ibn Muskan from abu Hamza who has said the following: “The believer’s deeds are mixed with forbearance. He sits to learn and speaks to understand. He does not tell his friends about his trust and he does not hide his testimony for the enemies. He does not do any true thing to show off and does not ignore it due to shyness. If he purifies himself he fears what they may say and he asks forgiveness from Allah for what they do not know. The words of those who do not know him do not make him boastful. He fears from the record of his deeds.”
