قال الإمام الصّادق علیه السلام:
إنَّ خیر العباد من تجتمع فیه خمس خصال: اذا احسن استبشر و اذا اساء استغفر و اذا اعطی ( من الله شیئا) شکر و اذا ابتلی ( من الله ) صبر و اذا ظلم غفر.
One who has these five characteristics is the choicest of men: one who feels joyous when he does something bad: one who is grateful when he receives something from Allah one who forgives when he is done some injustice or wrong.
