والتحقیق بالبرهان علم ، وملابسة عین تلك الحالة ذوق ، والقبول من التسامع والتجربة
بحسن الظن إیمان.
A person of good character is he who is modest, says little, causes little trouble, speaks the truth, seeks the good, worships much, has few faults, meddles little, desires the good for all, and does good works for all. He is compassionate, dignified, measured, patient, content, grateful, sympathetic, friendly, abstinent, and not greedy. He does not use foul language, nor does he exhibit haste, nor does he harbor hatred in his heart. He is not envious. He is candid, well-spoken, and his friendship and enmity, his anger and his pleasure are for the sake of God Most High and nothing more.
"وأما عمل القلب فالغاية القصوى عمارته بالأخلاق المحمودة والعقائد المشروعة ولن يتصف بها ما لم ينظف عن نقائضها من العقائد الفاسدة والرذائل الممقوتة فتطهيره أحد الشطرين وهو الشطر الأول الذي هو شرط في الثاني فكان الطهور شطر الإيمان بهذا المعنى وكذلك تطهير الجوارح عن المناهي أحد الشطرين وهو الشطر الأول الذي هو شرط في الثاني فتطهيره أحد الشطرين وهو الشطر الأول وعمارتها بالطاعات الشطر الثاني فهذه مقامات الإيمان "
