"عَنْ عَليٍّ: أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ يتَحدَّثونَ فَقالَ: فِيمَ أَنْتُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا: نَتَذَاكَرُ المُرُوَءةَ، فَقَالَ أَوَ مَاكَفَاكُمُ الله ذَاكَ فِى كِتابِهِ؟ ! إِذْ يَقُولُ: {إِن الله يأمُرُ بِالعَدْلِ وَالإحْسَانِ} فَالعَدْلُ: الإنْصَافُ، والإِحْسَانُ: التَّفَضُّلُ فَمَا بَقي بَعْدَ هَذَا؟ ".

"From 'Ali, that he passed by a people who were conversing, and he said, 'What are you about?' They said, 'We are discussing manliness (muru'ah).' He said, 'Has Allah not sufficed you with that in His Book, when He says: {Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct} [An-Nahl 16:90]? So justice is fairness, and good conduct is generosity. What remains after this?'"
