106 – Abu al-Faraj Muhammad narrated to us; al-Harith ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Usamah transmitted to us; Ahmad ibn Sahl transmitted; from Abdullah ibn Hayan; from an elder named Jaʿfar; from al-Shaʿbi; from al-Baraʾ ibn Sabrah—who traced it back to the Prophet—who said: “Three qualities, whoever possesses them will find his body at ease: knowledge by which he dispels ignorance, intellect with which he deals amicably with people, and scrupulous piety that restrains him from disobeying Allah.”
