Tally

“ [He is ] 
subtle in his movements, 
sweet to look at,
he seeks out the loftiest of matters, and has the most outstanding moral ethics. 
He is not prejudiced against he whom he does not like, 
nor biased in favour of one he loves,
he is hardly a burden; and instead is very helpful. 
He perfects his actions as if he is being watched, 
lowers his gaze, 
is liberal in his giving, and never turns away a beggar. 
He considers his words carefully and guards his tongue. 
He neither accepts falsehood from a friend, nor rejects the truth from an enemy. 
He only learns in order that he might know, 
and he only seeks to know in order that he may act. 
When he travels with worldly people, he is the smartest of them, 
and when he travels with the people of the Hereafter, he is the most pious from among them. ”

— Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [SAW], describing the believer.
