Hawzah News Agency- Imam Sadiq (a.s) said:
ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ مَنْ کُنَّ فِیهِ اسْتَکْمَلَ خِصَالَ الْإِیمَانِ مَنْ صَبَرَ عَلَی الظُّلْمِ وَ کَظَمَ غَیْظَهُ وَ احْتَسَبَ وَ عَفَی وَ غَفَرَ کَانَ مِمَّنْ یُدْخِلُهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّهَ بِغَیْرِ حِسَابٍ وَ یُشَفِّعُهُ فِی مِثْلِ رَبِیعَهَ وَ مُضَرَ
Three traits, whoever possesses them, has perfected the characteristics of faith: whoever is patient in the face of wrongdoing, suppresses his rage, seeks divine reward (ihtisāb), and pardons and forgives—he will be among those whom Allah admits into Paradise without reckoning and allows him to intercede for as many people as the tribes of Rab'ah and Mudhar.[1]
[1] Note: Explanation of Terms
- Patience in the face of wrongdoing: Refers to diplomacy and wisdom in dealing with the oppressor (mudārāh), not passive acceptance of oppression, which is explicitly forbidden in narrations.
- Ihtisāb (seeking divine reward): To consider whatever provokes his anger as part of the trials from Allah for which one earns reward by restraining rage.
- Allows him to intercede: Meaning Allah accepts his intercession.
- Rabi'ah and Mudhar: Two massive tribes proverbially cited in Arabic to signify an immense multitude of people.
