يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ ثَمَانِي خِصَالٍ وَقُوراً عِنْدَ الْهَزَاهِزِ صَبُوراً عِنْدَ الْبَلَاءِ شَكُوراً عِنْدَ الرَّخَاءِ قَانِعاً بِمَا رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ لَا يَظْلِمُ الْأَعْدَاءَ وَ لَا يَتَحَامَلُ لِلْأَصْدِقَاءِ بَدَنُهُ مِنْهُ فِي تَعَبٍ وَ النَّاسُ مِنْهُ فِي رَاحَةٍ إِنَّ الْعِلْمَ خَلِيلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ الْحِلْمَ وَزِيرُهُ وَ الْعَقْلَ أَمِيرُ جُنُودِهِ وَ الرِّفْقَ أَخُوهُ وَ الْبِرَّ وَالِدُهُ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from jameel Bin Salih, from Abdul Malik Bin Ghalib, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> having said: ‘It is befitting for the <span class="iTxt">Momin (Believer)</span> that there happen to be eight characteristics in him – dignity during distubances, patience during the afflictions, gratefulness during the prosperity, contentment with what Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> has Graced him, not being unjust to the enemies, not being a burden to his friends, his body should be tired from it (the hard work) but the people would be at rest from him. The knowledge is a friend of the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>, and the forbearance is his Vizier, and the intellect is the commander of his army, and the kindness is his brother, and the righteousness is his father’.
