الرَّجُلُ لِسَلْمَانَ مَنْ أَنْتَ وَ مَا أَنْتَ فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ أَمَّا أَوَّلِي وَ أَوَّلُكَ فَنُطْفَةٌ قَذِرَةٌ وَ أَمَّا آخِرِي وَ آخِرُكَ فَجِيفَةٌ مُنْتِنَةٌ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ نُصِبَتِ الْمَوَازِينُ فَمَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَهُوَ الْكَرِيمُ وَ مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَهُوَ اللَّئِيمُ.

Hadith.5874 - Al-Mufaddal narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), that he said: "A dispute occurred between Salman Al-Farsi, may Allah (swt) have mercy on him, and a man. The man said to Salman: 'Who are you, and what are you?' Salman replied: 'As for my beginning and yours, it is a unclean drop of fluid, and as for my end and yours, it is a decaying corpse. But on the Day of Judgment, when the scales are set up, whoever's scales are heavy, he is the honorable one, and whoever's scales are light, he is the disgraceful one.'"
