hadith 1126
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Three qualities which, when present in a person, enable him to savour the taste of faith: that nothing is more beloved to him than Allah and His Messenger, that to be burned in the Fire is more beloved to him than to denounce his religion, and that he loves for the sake of Allah and hates for the sake of Allah.
ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : ثلاثٌ مَن كُنَّ فيه ذاقَ طَعْمَ الإيمانِ: مَن كانَ لا شيءَ أحبُّ إلَيهِ مِن اللّهِ ورسولِهِ ، ومن كان لَإنْ يُحرقَ بالنّار أحبَّ إليهِ مِن أنْ يَرْتَدَّ عن دِينِهِ ، ومن كانَ يُحبُّ للّهِ ويُبغضُ للّهِ.

hadith 1128
Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘A servant will never savour the taste of faith until he knows that that which afflicts him would never have missed him, and that that which has missed him would never have touched him, and that the only One to induce harm and benefit is Allah, Mighty and Exalted.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لايَجدُ عَبدٌ طعمَ الإيمانِ حتّى يَعلمَ أنَّ ما أصابَهُ لم يكُن لِيُخطِئَهُ ، وَأنَّ ما أخطأهُ لم يكُن ليُصيبَهُ، وَأنَّ الضّارَّ النّافِعَ هوَ اللّهُ عزّ وجلّ .

hadith 1129
Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Man will never taste the reality of faith until he possesses three qualities: understanding of religion, perseverance in calamities, and a good assessment of his income.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لا يذوقُ المَرءُ من حَقيقةِ الإيمانِ حتّى يكونَ فيهِ ثلاثُ خصالٍ:الفقهُ في الدِّينِ، والصّبرُ على المَصائبِ ، وحُسْنُ التّقديرِ في المَعاشِ .
