رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):
صِفَةُ العاقِلِ أن يَحلُمَ عَمَّن جَهِلَ عَلَيهِ، و يَتَجاوَزَ عَمَّن ظَلَمَهُ، و يَتَواضَعَ لِمَن هُوَ دونَهُ، و يُسابِقَ مَن فَوقَهُ في طَلَبِ البِرِّ، و إذا أرادَ أن يَتَكَلَّمَ تَدَبَّرَ؛ فإنْ كانَ خَيرا تَكَلَّمَ فغَنِمَ، و إن كانَ شَرّا سَكَتَ فسَلِمَ، و إذا عَرَضَت لَهُ فِتنَةٌ استَعصَمَ بِاللّهِ و أمسَكَ يَدَهُ و لِسانَهُ، و إذا رَأى فَضيلَةً انتَهَزَ بِها، لا يُفارِقُه الحَياءُ، و لا يَبدو مِنهُ الحِرصُ، فتِلكَ عَشرُ خِصالٍ يُعرَفُ بِها العاقِلُ.

The attributes of a man of intellect is that he is clement towards one who behaves rashly with him, overlooks the fault of one who wrongs him, is humble even towards one who is lower than him in rank, tries to get ahead of those above him in his quest for good. Whenever he wishes to speak, he contemplates: if what he wants to say is good, he says it and benefits as a result, and if it is bad, then he keeps quiet and remains safe as a result. When a temptation arises before him, he holds fast to Allah and guards his hand and his tongue: if he sees virtue, he seizes it. Modesty does not part from him, nor does he display any act of greed. These are ten qualities by which a man of intellect may be known.
