يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ ثَمَانُ خِصَالٍ وَقُورٌ عِنْدَ الْهَزَاهِزِ صَبُورٌ عِنْدَ الْبَلَاءِ شَكُورٌ عِنْدَ الرَّخَاءِ قَانِعٌ 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 الصَّبْرَ أَمِيرُ جُنُودِهِ وَ الرِّفْقَ أَخُوهُ وَ اللِّينَ وَالِدُهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Abdullah 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</span> that there happen to be worthwhile characteristics in him – dignity during the volatility, patience during the afflictions, gratefulness during the prosperity, contentment with whatever Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> has Graced him with, not oppressing the enemies, nor being burdensome upon the friends. His body would be in exhaustion from it and 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 patience an Emir of his army, and the kindness is his brother, and the softness is his father’.
