482 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father informed me; Haytham ibn Kharijah narrated to us; Ibn ʿAyyash reported, from Safwan ibn ʿAmr, from Shurayh ibn ʿUbayd, from Maysarah, who said:
The Messiah—peace be upon him—said: “If you would like to be Allah’s elect and a light for the children of Adam among His creation, then pardon those who wrong you, visit those who do not visit you, treat well those who do not treat you well, and lend to those who cannot repay you.”
٤٨٢ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أبِي، حَدَّثَنَا هَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ الْمَسِيحُ (عليه السلام): إِنْ أَحْبَبْتُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا أَصْفِيَاءَ لِلَّهِ – Exalté soit-Il –، وَنُورَ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ، فَاعْفُوا عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَكُمْ، وَعُودُوا مَنْ لَا يَعُودُكُمْ، وَأَحْسِنُوا إِلَى مَنْ لَا يُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَأَقْرِضُوا مَنْ لَا يُجْزِيكُمْ "
