The Snake Who Stopped Hissing
Imam al-Sadiq (as) said: “People, who have greater minds, will have better behavior.”
He said: “The perfection of a believer is in three cases: being professional in his religion; being patient when facing a problem; and being wise in his work and earning.”
He said: “Every owner of a skill or art has to own the following three attributes in order to get his earning: He has to be expert in his art and skill; he has to be honest in his deeds; and kind to those whom he works for.”
These three attributes, which were mentioned by the wise Imam (as) contain the necessary tools of progress in work and profession as well as economical growth, which empower self-confidence in each one of the members of the society.
He said: “If someone is thrown in any of the following situations, he will look as being mindless: a leaving blessing; corrupted spouse; or when a disaster happens to a beloved.”
These problems, if happens to someone, his mind will be spoiled, and troubles and difficulties surround him from all parts.
He said: “Bravery has three attributes, each having a distinguished property, which is lacked in others: generosity; sense of honor; as well as wishing to be mentioned in good. If those attributes are gathered in someone, he will be considered as brave where no one can stand against. Whenever his bravery exceeds in some aspect rather than other aspects, he will grow in those aspect better than the others.”
He said: “People are of three types: an ignorant who fears learning; a scholar who is proud of his knowledge and a wise person who is working for his worldly life as well as the hereafter.”
He said: “There are three who will not experience loneliness: people with good behavior; those who do not hurt others; and those who avoid being in suspicious situation.”
Hadith: Avoiding Suspicion. إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظَّنَّ, فَإِنَّ اَلظَّنَّ أَكْذَبُ اَلْحَدِيثِ Beware of suspicion for it is the most untruthful.
