RIGHTEOUSNESS

---

2– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The good deed to be rewarded the fastest is righteousness, and the evil deed to be punished the fastest is aggression.’
[al-Khisal, p. 100, no. 81]

3– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Three things represent righteousness: liberality from one’s self, kind words, and endurance of harm.’
[Tuhaf al-`Uqoul, no. 8]

4- Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘Four things are among the treasures of righteousness: concealing one’s need, concealing one’s charity, concealing one’s pain, and the concealment of catastrophe
[befalling oneself].’
[Ibid. no. 295]

5- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘There are ten signs of a righteous person: he loves for the sake of Allah, hates for the sake of Allah, befriends for the sake of Allah, abandons for the sake of Allah. He becomes angry for the sake of Allah, becomes pleased for the sake of Allah, works for the sake of Allah, beseeches Allah, submits to Allah – fearing Him, awed
[by others], pure, sincere, bashful, and watchful – and acts kindly for the sake of Allah.’
[Ibid. no. 21]

6- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Complete righteousness means that you do in secret what is usually done in public.’
[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 5265]
