| 643. 1. Imam
Jafar as-Sadiq (p): God, the Almighty, the Glorious, has
classified faith (Iman) into seven attributes: kindness, truthfulness,
conviction (Yaqin), acceptance of God’s Will, loyalty, knowledge
(Ilm) and modesty. God, the Almighty, distributed it among the people.
The one in whom all these seven attributes are found is perfect
and capable of withstanding. Some possess only one attribute, some
others two, still others three, till it reaches seven. Do not put
the pressure of two attributes on one who has only one attribute
and the pressure of three attributes on one who has only two attributes,
and so on.(B5,C20,T1) |
