٩ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَوْحَى الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى بَعْضِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ (عَلَيهِم السَّلام) الْخُلُقُ الْحَسَنُ يَمِيثُ الْخَطِيئَةَ كَمَا تَمِيثُ الشَّمْسُ الْجَلِيدَ.
9. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid who has said that Yahya ibn ‘Amr from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan narrated to me from Abu ‘Abdillah  who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah  has said, ‘Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, revealed to one of His prophets this: “Excellent moral behavior melts down sins just as the sun melts down hoarfrost.’””
