If a respected person of a people comes to you

272. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Al-HajjaAl-who said: I said to Jameel Bin Darraaj, ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘If a respectable person of a people comes, so be kind to him’. He said, ‘Yes’. I said to him, ‘And what is the respectable one?’ He said, ‘I had asked Abu Abdullah (asws) about that, so he (asws) said that the honourable one is the one who is wealthy’. I said, ‘So what is nobility?’ He (asws) said: ‘The one who acts goodly with his wealth and the wealth of others’. I said, ‘So what is the kindness?’ He (asws) said: ‘The piety’.
