Hadiths Of Moderation in Moral Virtues

:

إِنَّ لِلسَّخَاءِ مِقْدَاراً فَإِنْ زَادَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ سَرَفٌ وَ لِلْحَزْمِ مِقْدَاراً فَإِنْ زَادَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ جُبْنٌ وَ لِلِاقْتِصَادِ مِقْدَاراً فَإِنْ زَادَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ بُخْلٌ وَ لِلشَّجَاعَةِ مِقْدَاراً فَإِنْ زَادَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ تَهَوُّر .

:

Verily generosity has a set limit, which if overstepped, turns into squandering. Prudence has a limit, which if overstepped, becomes cowardice. Economizing has a limit, which if overstepped, turns into miserliness. And courage has a set limit, which if overstepped, becomes foolhardiness.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

لَيسَ شَيءٌ إلاّ و لَهُ حَدٌّ. قلتُ : جُعِلتُ فِداكَ، فما حَدُّ التَّوَكُّلِ ؟ قالَ : اليَقينُ . قلتُ : فما حَدُّ اليَقينِ ؟ قالَ : ألاّ تَخافَ مَعَ اللّهِ شَيئا .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Imam al-Sadiq (as) said, 'Nothing exists without a limit.' I asked, 'May I be sacrificed for you, what is the limit of trust [in Allah]?' He said, 'Conviction.' I said, 'So what is the limit of conviction?' He said, 'That you do not fear anything apart from Allah.'

الإمام الكاظم (عليه السَّلام):

يا هِشامُ ، لا دِينَ لمَن لا مُرُوَّةَ لَهُ ، و لا مُرُوَّةَ لِمَن لا عَقلَ لَهُ ، و إنَّ أعظَمَ النّاسِ قَدرا الّذي لا يَرَى الدُّنيا لِنَفسِهِ خَطَرا أمَا إنّ أبدانَكُم لَيسَ لَها ثَمَنٌ إلاّ الجَنَّةَ فلا تَبِيعُوها بغَيرِها .

Imam al-Kazim (as):

He who has no valorous qualities has no religion, and one who has no intellect has no valor, and the person with the highest status is one in whose eyes the world holds no value. Verily there is no price for your soul except for Paradise, so do not sell it for anything else.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

الْمُؤْمِنُ كَمِثْلِ شَجَرَةٍ لَايَتَحَاتُ‏ وَرَقُهَا فِي شِتَاءٍ وَ لَا صَيْفٍ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَ مَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ: النَّخْلَةُ.

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

The example of the believer is that of the tree the leaves of which never fall whether in winter or summer. He was then asked what tree that was to which he replied; 'It is the date-palm.'

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

قالَ أبو عَبدِ اللّه عليه السلام لرَجُلٍ : ما الفَتى عِندَكُم ؟ فقالَ لَهُ : الشابُّ ، فقالَ : لا ، الفَتى : المُؤمِنُ ، إنَّ أصحابَ الكَهفِ كانوا شُيُوخا فَسَمّاهُمُ اللّهُ عَزَّ و جلَّ فِتيَةً بِإيمانِهِم .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Imam al-Sadiq (as) once asked a man, 'Who do you consider a fata?' to which the man replied, 'A young man.' Imam said, 'No, a fata is a believer, for verily the Companions of the Cave were middle-aged men, yet Allah called them fitya [plural of fata] because of their belief.'
