Imam Ali (AS) said, Three things, if possessed, perfect ones faith: that when one is pleased, his pleasure does not lead him towards vice; and when he gets angry, his anger does not draw him away from the truth; and when he is in a position of power, he never takes that which is not his.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : ثلاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فيهِ استَكْمَلَ الإيمانَ: مَنْ إذا رَضىَ لَمْ يُخْرِجْهُ رِضاهُ إلى باطِل وَ إذا غَضِبَ لَمْ يُخْرِجْهُ غَضَبُهُ عَنْ حقّ وَ إذا قَدَرَ لَمْ يَأخُذْما لَيسَ لَهُ
