Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Three are vices of destruction: greed that is obeyed, whims that are followed, and a man impressed with himself. Three are virtues of salvation: justice in a time of pleasure or anger, moderation in a time of wealth or poverty, and the fear of Allah in public and in private.”

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلاثٌ مُهْلِكَاتٌ شُحٌّ مُطَاعٌ وَهَوًى مُتَّبَعٌ وَإِعْجَابُ الْمَرْءِ بِنَفْسِهِ مِنَ الْخُيَلاءِ وَثَلاثٌ مُنْجِيَاتٌ الْعَدْلُ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ وَالْقَصْدُ فِي الْغِنَى وَالْفَاقَةِ وَمَخَافَةُ اللَّهِ فِي السِّرِّ وَالْعَلانِيَةِ
