Precious Fruits
From the Manners of the Believer
Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, used to say: "Among the manners of the believer are strength in religion, prudence in gentleness, faith in certainty, knowledge in forbearance, forbearance in knowledge, cleverness in kindness, adornment in poverty, moderation in wealth, compassion in spending, mercy for the afflicted, giving to those who have rights, and fairness in uprightness. He does not wrong those he hates, nor does he sin in helping those he loves. He does not slander, backbite, defame, exaggerate, trifle, play, walk with gossip, pursue what is not his, deny the right that is due, exceed in power, gloat over misfortune when it befalls others, nor rejoice in calamity when it descends upon others."
