رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

أربَعٌ مَن كُنَّ فيهِ و كانَ مِن قَرنِهِ إلى قَدَمِهِ ذُنوباً بَدَّلَها اللّهُ حَسَناتٍ : الصِّدقُ ، و الحَياءُ ، و حُسنُ الخُلُقِ ، و الشُّكرُ .

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

Four qualities, when possessed by a person, cause Allah to transform his evil deeds into good deeds, even if he is sinful from head to toe. They are: honesty, modesty, good character and thankfulness.

الإمام السّجاد (عليه السَّلام):

طَلَبُ الحَوائجِ إلى الناسِ مَذَلَّةٌ للحياةِ، ومَذهَبَةٌ للحَياءِ، واستِخفافٌ بِالوَقارِ، وهُو الفَقرُ الحاضِرُ، وقِلَّةُ طَلَبِ الحوائجِ مِنَ الناسِ هُو الغِنى الحاضِرُ.

Imam al-Sajjad (as):

Asking for the fulfilment of one's needs from people degrades one's life, does away with one's modesty, and makes a mockery of one's own dignity and it is a ready poverty in itself, whereas refraining from seeking fulfilment of one's needs from people is ready wealth in itself.
