Chapter 29 | A Characteristic that Is Not Good for a Dignified Man
1-35 حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا محمد ابن الحسن الصفار، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن معاوية بن وهب قال: رآني أبوعبد الله عليه السلام بالمدينة وأنا أحمل بقلا فقال: إنه يكره للرجل السريأن يحمل الشئ الدني فيجترئ عليه
1-35 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid - may God have Mercy upon him - narrated that Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted on the authority of Yaqoob ibn Yazid, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr that Muawiyah ibn Wahab said, “Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) saw me carrying some green vegetables in Medina. He said, ‘It is not good for a dignified man to carry lowly things since the people will then dare to disrespect him.’”
