Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “We love those of our followers who are intelligent, understanding, persevering, knowledgeable, patient, kind, persevering and loyal. God the Almighty has granted the noblest human characteristics to the Prophets. Whoever possesses those characteristics should be grateful to God. Whoever does not possess them should cry and ask God to grant him these characteristics.” He was asked: “What are these characteristics?” He said: “Piety, contentment, perseverance, gratitude, patience, shame, generosity, bravery, zeal, goodness, honesty and trustworthiness.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
إنا لنحب من شيعتنا من كان عاقلا فهما فقيها حليما مداريا صبورا وفيا، إن الله عز وجل خص الأنبياء بمكارم الأخلاق، فمن كانت فيه فليحمد الله على ذلك، ومن لم تكن فيه فليتضرع إلى الله جل وعز وليسأله إياها، قال: قلت: جعلت فداك، وما هن؟ قال: هن الورع والقناعة والصبر والشكر والحلم والحياء والسخاء والشجاعة والغيرة والبر وصدق الحديث وأداء الأمانة.
