Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه reported: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
“Three are causes of destruction:
- Greed that is obeyed,
- Whims that are followed,
- A man whose pride impresses himself.
Three are causes of salvation:
- justice in a time of pleasure or anger
- Moderation in a time of wealth or poverty
- Fear of Allah in privacy and in public.”
