Individual Ethics » Virtues » Eight Qualities of the Believer

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ ثَمَانِي‏ خِصَالٍ: وَقُوراً عِنْدَ الْهَزَاهِزِ، صَبُوراً عِنْدَ الْبَلَاءِ، شَكُوراً عِنْدَ الرَّخَاءِ، قَانِعاً بِمَا رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ، لَايَظْلِمُ 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.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

A believer should possess eight qualities: He should be composed and dignified in tribulations, patient in the face of calamities, thankful in times of comfort, and content with whatever sustenance Allah has provided for him. He does not do injustice to his enemies. He does not place his burden on his friends. His own self is exhausted because of him, whereas people are at ease when being with him. Knowledge is the friend of the believer, forbearance is his minister, intellect is the commander of his army, lenience is his brother and righteousness is his father.

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
