إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَضَعَ الْإِيمَانَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَسْهُمٍ عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَ الصِّدْقِ وَ الْيَقِينِ وَ الرِّضَا وَ الْوَفَاءِ وَ الْعِلْمِ وَ الْحِلْمِ ثُمَّ قَسَمَ ذَلِكَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَمَنْ جَعَلَ فِيهِ هَذِهِ السَّبْعَةَ الْأَسْهُمِ فَهُوَ كَامِلٌ مُحْتَمِلٌ وَ قَسَمَ لِبَعْضِ النَّاسِ السَّهْمَ وَ لِبَعْضٍ السَّهْمَيْنِ وَ لِبَعْضٍ الثَّلَاثَةَ حَتَّى انْتَهَوْا إِلَى السَّبْعَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تَحْمِلُوا عَلَى صَاحِبِ السَّهْمِ سَهْمَيْنِ وَ لَا عَلَى صَاحِبِ السَّهْمَيْنِ ثَلَاثَةً فَتَبْهَضُوهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى السَّبْعَةِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ammar Bin Abu Al Ahows, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> havings said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Places the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span> to be upon seven portions – upon the righteousness, and the truthfulness, and the conviction, and the agreeability, and the loyalty, and the knowledge, and the forbearance. Then He<sup>azwj</sup> Distributed that between the people. So the one in whom He<sup>azwj</sup> Made these seven portions to be, so he would be of perfect potential (of achieving the complete <span class="iTxt">Emān</span>). And He<sup>azwj</sup> Distributed such that one portion to be for some of the people, and for some, the two portions, and for some, the three, until ending to the seven (portions). Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not burden upon the owner of the one portion with (the obligations of) two portions, nor upon the owner of the two portions, with the three, so you would break them’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is like that until it ends up to the seven’.
