Hadith 928
۞
8-1 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father (ra) narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Mahboob, on the authority of Jameel ibn Salih, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Ghalib that Abi Abdillah (AS) said, “
A believer should possess eight qualities: (He is) dignified in times of turbulence, patient in adversity, grateful in prosperity, content with what Allah has provided, not oppress the enemies, not burden friends with his body in toil, and provide comfort to people. Knowledge is the believer's friend, forbearance is his minister, patience is the commander of his troops, gentleness is his brother, and kindness is his father.“
8-1 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن جميل بن صالح، عن عبد الله بن غالب، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
ينبغي للمؤمن أن يكون فيه ثمان خصال: وقور عند الهزاهز صبور عند البلاء، شكور عند الرخاء، قانع بما رزقه الله، لا يظلم الاعداء، ولا يتحامل للاصدقاء بدنه منه في تعب، والناس منه في راحة، إن العلم خليل المؤمن، والحلم وزيره، والصبر أمير جنوده، والرفق أخوه، واللين والده
