Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God the Almighty has partitioned Islam into seven parts. These are goodness, honesty, certitude, contentment (with divine destiny), loyalty, knowledge and patience. Then he has distributed these among the people. Whoever possesses all seven has perfect faith and is strong. He gave some people just one, some just two, some just three, some just four, some just five, some just six, and some all seven of these.” Then he added: “Therefore you should not expect one who has only been given one or two parts of the faith to be responsible for more, since he cannot bear more, and so on.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله تبارك وتعالى وضع الإسلام على سبعة أسهم: على البر، والصدق، واليقين، والرضا، والوفاء، والعلم، والحلم، ثم قسم ذلك بين الناس، فمن جعل فيه هذه السبعة الأسهم فهو كامل الإيمان محتمل، وقسم لبعض الناس السهم الواحد ولبعض السهمين ولبعض الثلاثة الأسهم، حتى انتهى إلى سبعة. ثم قال: فلا تحملوا على صاحب السهم سهمين ولا على صاحب السهمين ثلاثة أسهم فتبهظوهم، ثم قال: كذلك حتى انتهى إلى سبعة.
