14ـ المُؤْمِنُ مَنْ طَهَّرَ قَلْبَهُ مِنَ الدَنِيَّةِ(الريبَةِ).
14ـ المُؤْمِنُ مَنْ طَهَّرَ قَلْبَهُ مِنَ الدَنِيَّةِ(الريبَةِ). A believer is one whose affair is near, whose sorrow is distant, whose silence is much and whose actions are sincere. 15ـ اَلمُؤْمِنُ قَريبٌ أمْرُهُ، بَعيدٌ هَمُّهُ، كَثيرٌ صَمْتُه، خالِصٌ عَمَلُهُ. A believer is eager in [his] obedience [to Allah] and refrains from what is forbidden. 16ـ اَلمُؤْمِنُ عَلَى الطَّاعاتِ حَريصٌ، وعَنِ المَحارِمِ عَفٌّ.
The soul of a believer is firmer than a hard rock while he is [himself] humbler than a slave. 17ـ اَلمُؤْمِنُ نَفْسُهُ أصْلَبُ مِنَ الصَّلْدِ، وهُوَ أذَلُّ مِنَ العَبْدِ. When a believer observes, he takes lesson; and when he is quiet, he contemplates; and when he speaks, he remembers [Allah]; and when he is given, he is grateful; and when he undergoes hardship, he is patient.
18ـ اَلمؤمِنُ إذا نَظَرَ اعْتَبَـرَ، وإذا سَكَتَ تَفَكَرَّ، وإذا تَكَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ، وَإذا اُعْطِيَ شَكَرَ، وإذَا ابْتُِليَ صَبَـرَ. When a believer is admonished, he restrains himself; and when he is warned, he becomes cautious; and when he is shown an example, he learns [from it]; and when he is reminded, he remembers; and when he is oppressed, he forgives. 19ـ اَلمُؤْمِنُ إذا وُعِظَ اِزْدَجَرَ، وإذا حُذِّرَ حَذِرَ، وإذا عُبِّرَ اِعْتَبـَرَ، وإذا ذُكِّرَ ذَكَّرَ، وإذا اُظْلِمَ غَفَرَ.
The persistence of a believer is [in] his renunciation [of worldly pleasures], his interest is [in] his religiosity, his dignity is [in] his contentment and his striving is for his Hereafter. His good deeds are many, his status is elevated and he has managed [to gain] his freedom and salvation. 20ـ اَلمُؤْمِنُ دَأْبُهُ زِهادَتُهُ، وَهَمُّهُ دِيانَتُهُ، وعِزُّهُ قَناعَتُهُ، وجِدُّهُ لآخِرَتِهِ، قَد كَثُرَتْ حَسَناتُهُ، وعَلَتْ دَرَجاتُهُ، وشَارَفَ خَلاصَهُ ونَجاتَهُ.
A believer looks at this world with eyes that derive lesson, and consumes from it only what is necessary, and hears in it with ears of hatred and enmity [towards it]. 21ـ اَلمُؤمِنُ يَنْظُرُ إلَى الدُّنيا بِعَيْنِ الإعتِبارِ، ويَقْتاتُ فيها بِبَطْنِ الإضْطِرارِ، ويَسْمَعُ فيها بِأُذُنِ المَقْتِ والإبْغاضِ. The believers blame themselves and are fearful of their past mistakes; they detest this world, eagerly yearn for the Hereafter and hasten towards [acts of] obedience.
22ـ اَلمُؤمنونَ لأنْفُسِهِمْ مُتَّهِمُونَ، ومِنْ فارِطِ زَلَلِهِمْ وَجِلُونَ، ولِلدُّنْيا عائِفُونَ، وإلَى الآخِرَةِ مُشْتاقُونَ، وإلَى الطّاعاتِ مُسارِعُونَ. A believer is one who bears with the harm that people inflict [on him] but nobody is ever harmed by him.
