This anecdote is narrated by Ayatullah Jawadi-Amuli(HA)

Allamah Tabatabai(RA)’s manner was one that conformed completely to the Quran.  Perhaps it can be said that his behavior had become the Quran.  Every verse that God has placed in the Quran describing a perfect human being (Insan-e-Kaamil), we found it in Allamah(RA)’s behavior to the extent that it is possible to be seen in an individual. 

His gatherings were those of perfect Islamic etiquette and Godly character.  It was rare for him to commit even an action which, without being a sin, was not the best course of action to take (tark-e-owla).  He never mentioned someone’s name with ill-feeling, nor anyone’s bad characteristics, and tried to always pray for the well-being of others.
