"عَنِ الْحَسَن بن عَلىٍّ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ سَأَلَهُ عن الْكَرَمِ وَالْمُروءَةِ، فَقَالَ: أَمَّا الكَرَمُ فَالتَّبَرُّعُ بالْمَعْرُوفِ والإِعْطَاءُ قبْلَ السُّؤَالِ، وَالطَّعَامُ فِى الْمحْلِ، وَأَمَّا الْمُرُوءَةُ فَحِفْظُ الرَّجُلِ دِينَهُ، وَإِحْرَازُ نَفْسه مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَقِيامهُ بِضَيْفِهِ، وَأَدَاءُ الْحُقُوق، وَإفْشَاءُ السَّلَام".
