The True Believer: Master of His Emotions and Power

Hawzah News Agency- Imam Baqir (a.s) said:

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِی إِذَا رَضِیَ لَمْ یُدْخِلْهُ رِضَاهُ فِی إِثْمٍ وَ لَا بَاطِلٍ وَ إِذَا سَخِطَ لَمْ یُخْرِجْهُ سَخَطُهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ الْحَقِّ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِی إِذَا قَدَرَ لَمْ تُخْرِجْهُ قُدْرَتُهُ إِلَی التَّعَدِّی وَ إِلَی مَا لَیْسَ لَهُ بِحَقٍّ.

The believer is only the one who, when he is pleased, his pleasure does not lead him into sin or falsehood; and when he is angry, his anger does not drive him away from speaking the truth; and the believer is the one who, when he has power, his power does not lead him to transgression or to that which he has no right.

Al-Khisal,Book 3,Hadith 65
