4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from certain individuals who narrated to him in a marfu’ manner from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“The believer has power in religion. He is of solid determination but with soft words, his belief is in certainty, he has greed in deep understanding, is active in guidance, and virtuous in steadfastness. He has knowledge in forbearance, he is smart in friendliness, and generous in truth, modest in wealth, graceful in poverty, forgiving in power, and obedient to Allah in good advice. His desires are ending, he exsercizes restraint against desires, greed in Jihad (hard work for the cause of Allah), prayer in business, patience in hardships, dignity in volatile conditions, endurance in suffering, and gratefulness in comfortable conditions. He does not backbite or act boastfully, nor does he disregard maintaining good relations with relatives and neither is he neglectful. He is not harsh and stubborn. His eyes are not ahead of him and his stomach does not disgrace him, his private parts do not overpower him. He does not envy people; he measures but is not measured. He is not extravagant, he helps the oppressed, he has blessings for the destitute, his soul is tired of him and people receive comfort from him. He is not interested in worldly honor and does not complain because of worldly humiliation. People look forward to be closer to him but he is preoccupied with his own business. No defect is found in his judgment, no flaw is found in his opinion, and no failure takes place in his religion. He provides instruction for those who consult him and assists those who assist him. He shuns indecency and ignorance.”
4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَنْ رَوَاهُ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
الْمُؤْمِنُ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ فِي دِينٍ وَحَزْمٌ فِي لِينٍ وَإِيمَانٌ فِي يَقِينٍ وَحِرْصٌ فِي فِقْهٍ وَنَشَاطٌ فِي هُدًى وَبِرٌّ فِي اسْتِقَامَةٍ وَعِلْمٌ فِي حِلْمٍ وَكَيْسٌ فِي رِفْقٍ وَسَخَاءٌ فِي حَقٍّ وَقَصْدٌ فِي غِنًى وَتَجَمُّلٌ فِي فَاقَةٍ وَعَفْوٌ فِي قُدْرَةٍ وَطَاعَةٌ لله فِي نَصِيحَةٍ وَانْتِهَاءٌ فِي شَهْوَةٍ وَوَرَعٌ فِي رَغْبَةٍ وَحِرْصٌ فِي جِهَادٍ وَصَلاةٌ فِي شُغُلٍ وَصَبْرٌ فِي شِدَّةٍ وَفِي الْهَزَاهِزِ وَقُورٌ وَفِي الْمَكَارِهِ صَبُورٌ وَفِي الرَّخَاءِ شَكُورٌ وَلا يَغْتَابُ وَلا يَتَكَبَّرُ وَلا يَقْطَعُ الرَّحِمَ وَلَيْسَ بِوَاهِنٍ وَلا فَظٍّ وَلا غَلِيظٍ وَلا يَسْبِقُهُ بَصَرُهُ وَلا يَفْضَحُهُ بَطْنُهُ وَلا يَغْلِبُهُ فَرْجُهُ وَلا يَحْسُدُ النَّاسَ يُعَيَّرُ وَلا يُعِيِّرُ وَلا يُسْرِفُ يَنْصُرُ الْمَظْلُومَ وَيَرْحَمُ الْمِسْكِينَ نَفْسُهُ مِنْهُ فِي عَنَاءٍ وَالنَّاسُ مِنْهُ فِي رَاحَةٍ لا يَرْغَبُ فِي عِزِّ الدُّنْيَا وَلا يَجْزَعُ مِنْ ذُلِّهَا لِلنَّاسِ هَمٌّ قَدْ أَقْبَلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَلَهُ هَمٌّ قَدْ شَغَلَهُ لا يُرَى فِي حُكْمِهِ نَقْصٌ وَلا فِي رَأْيِهِ وَهْنٌ وَلا فِي دِينِهِ ضَيَاعٌ يُرْشِدُ مَنِ اسْتَشَارَهُ وَيُسَاعِدُ مَنْ سَاعَدَهُ وَيَكِيعُ عَنِ الْخَنَا وَالْجَهْلِ.
