829 - Al-Hasan ibn Ahmad al-Kirmani informed us, saying: Abu al-Rabi related to us, saying: Hammad ibn Zayd related to us, saying: Shihab ibn Khirash related to us, from his uncle, al-Awwam ibn Hawshab, who said: 'Mention the virtues of the Companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him) so that hearts may be drawn to them, and do not mention their faults, lest you incite the people against them.'
