Imam Baqir (a.s) said that God's Prophet (a.s) was asked about the believers. He said: “Believers will get happy whenever they perform a good deed, and ask for God's forgiveness whenever they do a wicked act. They will be grateful whenever they are granted something. They will be patient when they are in trouble, and will forgive whenever they are angry.”
قال الباقر (عليه السلام): سئل رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) عنهم فقال: إذا أحسنوا استبشروا، وإذا أساؤوا استغفروا، وإذا أعطوا شكروا، وإذا ابتلوا صبروا، وإذا غضبوا غفروا.
