hadith 357

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “A believer should have eight traits: (1) He should maintain his dignity when calamities befall him, (2) he should be patient when he is in trouble, (3) he should be grateful when he has plenty of blessings, (4) he should be content with his share of God-given daily bread, (5) he should not be oppressive with his enemies, (6) he should not be a burden on his friends, (7) he should use his body (to perform his duties), and (8) the people should be safe from him. Knowledge is like a believer's friend, patience is like his prime minister, and perseverance is like the head of his army. Kindness is like his brother, and gentleness is like his father.”

وقال (عليه السلام): ينبغي للمؤمن أن يكون فيه ثمان خصال: وقور عند الهزاهز، صبور عند البلاء، شكور عند الرخاء، قانع بما رزقه الله، لا يظلم الأعداء، ولا يتحامل للأصدقاء، بدنه منه في تعب، والناس منه في راحة، إن العلم خليل المؤمن، والحلم وزيره، والصبر أمير جنوده، والرفق أخوه، واللين والده.

hadith 370

Imam Baqir (a.s) said that God's Prophet (a.s) was asked about the believers. He said: “Believers will get happy whenever they perform a good deed, and ask for God's forgiveness whenever they do a wicked act. They will be grateful whenever they are granted something. They will be patient when they are in trouble, and will forgive whenever they are angry.”

قال الباقر (عليه السلام): سئل رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) عنهم فقال: إذا أحسنوا استبشروا، وإذا أساؤوا استغفروا، وإذا أعطوا شكروا، وإذا ابتلوا صبروا، وإذا غضبوا غفروا.

hadith 406

Imam Reza (a.s) said: “One cannot be a true believer unless he possesses the following three traits - one from his Lord, one from his Prophet and one from his Imam. The one from his Lord is guarding secrets as God the Almighty said

“He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make anyone acquainted with his Mysteries, except an Apostle whom He has chosen.” [The Holy Quran: Jinn 72:25-26] But the one from the Prophet is kind treatment with people, as God has ordered the Prophet to treat the people with kindness and patience and said: “Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; but turn away from the ignorant.” [The Holy Quran: Araf 7:199] And the one from the Imams (a.s) is patience and perseverance during times of hardship and calamities.”

قال الرضا (عليه السلام): لا يكون المؤمن مؤمنا حتى يكون فيه ثلاث خصال: سنة من ربه، وسنة من نبيه، وسنة من وليه. فالسنة من ربه كتمان سره، قال الله تعالى: ﴿عالم الغيب فلا يظهر على غيبه أحدا﴾ ﴿إلا من ارتضى من رسول﴾. وأما السنة من نبيه فمداراة الناس، فإن الله عز وجل أمر نبيه بمداراة الناس فقال: ﴿خذ العفو وامر بالعرف وأعرض عن الجاهلين﴾. وأما السنة من وليه فالصبر في البأساء والضراء
