The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 419 (#Ḥadīth #6)

6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مِنَ التَّوَاضُعِ أَنْ تَرْضَى بِالْمَجْلِسِ دُونَ الْمَجْلِسِ وَأَنْ تُسَلِّمَ عَلَى مَنْ تَلْقَى وَأَنْ تَتْرُكَ الْمِرَاءَ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مُحِقّاً وَأَنْ لا تُحِبَّ أَنْ تُحْمَدَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following: “It is of humbleness to be happy with one seat instead of another seat, to initiate the greeting of peace to one who meets him and to avoid extreme argumentation even though one is right, and should not love to be praised for piety.”
