Chapter 288 | The meaning of manliness

حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن خالد البرقي، عن أبي قتادة القمي رفعه إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام أنه قال: ما المروءة؟ فقلنا: لا نعلم. قال: المروءة أن يضع الرجل خوانه بفناء داره، والمروءة مروتان - فذكر نحو الحديث الذي تقدم -.

9. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammed bin Khalid al-Barqi, from Abu Qutada al-Qommi, that he ascribed it to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: What is manliness? We said: We do not know. He said: Manliness is that a man places his dining table in the unroofed space of his home. Manliness is (consisting of) two (dimensions of) manlinesses. Then he mentioned the like of the narration that preceded.
