Faith (in God) requires the following five attributes, and faithless is the one who lacks any single one of them: surrendering to the will of God, being pleased with His decrees, leaving one's affairs to Him, relying on Him, and keeping patient when one first faces a disaster. لَيْسَ الإيْمَانُ بِالتَّمَنِّي، لكِنْ هُوَ مَا وُقِرَ في القَلْبِ وَصَدَّقَهُ العَمَلُ. Faith abides not in wishes, but dwells in hearts, and (should) be verified by deeds.

الإيْمَانُ مَعْرِفَةٌ بِالقَلْبِ؛ وَقَوْلٌ بِالْلِّسَانِ؛ وَعَمَلٌ بِالاَرْكَانِ. Faith consists of recognition by heart, acknowledgment by tongue and performance by (bodily) organs. الاِيْمَانُ نِصْفَانِ نِصْفٌ فِي الصَّبْرِ وَنِصْفٌ فِي الشُّكْرِ. Faith has two halves: one half is patience and the other, thanks- giving. الاِيْمَانُ الصَّبْرُ وَالسَّمَاحَةُ. Faith lies in patience and generosity.

ثَلاثٌ مِنَ الاِيْمانِ: الاِنْفاقُ مِنَ الاِقْتارِ؛ وَبَذْلُ السَّلامِ لِلعالِمِ؛ وَالاِنْصَافُ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ. Faith requires the following three: being generous in poverty, greeting the learned, and being just. ثَلاثٌ مِنْ أَخْلاقِ الاِيْمانِ: مَنْ اِذا غَضِبَ لَمْ يُدْخِلْهُ غَضَبُهُ في باطِلٍ؛ وَمَنْ اِذا رَضِىَ لَمْ يُخْرِجْهُ رِضاهُ مِنْ حَقٍّ؛ وَمَنْ اِذا قَدَرَ لَمْ يَتَعاطَ ما لَيْسَ لَهُ.

Faith requires the following three: to avoid doing wrong in anger, to refrain from keeping distance with truth in satisfaction, and to stop seizing others' property in power. لا دِيْنَ لِمَنْ لا عَهْدَ لَهُ. Faithless is the one who doesn't keep his promises. اليَمِيْنُ الكَاذِبَةُ مُنْفِقَةٌ لِلسِّلْعَةِ مُمْحِقَةٌ لِلْكَسْبِ. False oath makes goods sell but ruins the business well. قَيِّدْهَا وَتَوَكَّلْ. Fasten your camel (with a rope), and in God then hope.

الصَّوْمُ في الشِّتَاء الغَنِيْمَةُ البَارِدَةُ. Fasting in winter is a cold (easily- earned) gain. الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ مِنَ النَّار؛ فَمَنْ أصْبَحَ صَائِمَاً فَلا يَجْهَل يَوْمَئِذٍ، وَإنْ امْرؤٌ جُهِلَ عَلَيْهِ فَلا يَشْتِمْهُ وَلا يَسُبُّهُ، وَلْيَقُلْ اِنِّي صَائِمٌ. Fasting is a shield against Fire.
