Translation
229. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: Contentment is as good as estate, and goodness of moral character is as good as a blessing. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, was asked about Allāh’s saying: We will certainly make him live a life good and pure. (Qur’ān, 16:97) when he said: that means contentment. [1]
