The Best Servants
I was just reading the ahadith book, “Bundle of Flowers,” which is just a compilation of different traditions and sayings of the Prophet and the holy Imams. This hadith hit me, and made me ponder my current state, alhamdulillah.
Imam Baqir [a] said that the Holy Prophet [s] was once asked about the best servants and he replied:
“They are such that: when they do good, they are cheerful about it; when they do wrong, they seek forgiveness; when they are granted (something), they are thankful; when they are involved in a difficulty, they show patience; and when they become angry (with someone), they pardon.”
Khisal by Saduq, p. 317
