5 Principles of Individual Life
Imam Muhammad Baqir (Eleh Salam) said to Jabir bin Yazid Jafi , I advise you of five things
1️⃣ If you are wronged, do not wrong (anyone).
2️⃣ If you are betrayed (even) then you (never) betray
3️⃣ If you are denied, do not show anger
4️⃣ And if you are praised, do not be happy (do not let this happiness make you proud)
5️⃣ And if you are condemned and insulted, do not be sad, but consider what has been said about you.
If what has been said (and people have talked about you) is within you, then know that by denying the truth through anger, you are incurring the displeasure of Allah, and this displeasure is for you in the eyes of the people. (So try to accept the truth and correct it instead of getting angry while denying the truth in order to save your outward honor and glory in the eyes of people.)
