٤ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ الْعَابِدِ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَا يَقْدَمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ عَلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِعَمَلٍ بَعْدَ الْفَرَائِضِ أَحَبَّ إِلَى الله تَعَالَى مِنْ أَنْ يَسَعَ النَّاسَ بِخُلُقِهِ.
4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ibn Mahbub from ‘Anbasa al-‘Abid who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah  once said to me, ‘No one comes before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, with good deeds, besides the obligatory ones, more beloved to Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, than one with excellent moral behavior that has room for all people in it.’”
