Imam Reza (as): The intellect of a Muslim man does not mature & complete till he has ten qualities:
1) Benevolence & benefaction be expected & hoped from him. 2) And people be secure & peaceful from his evil doing. 3) He considers the small amount of benefaction from others as abundant & plentiful. 4) And takes plenty of his own benevolence & goodness to be a meagre amount of it. 5) He does not get tired & exhausted by the demands & requirement asked to be fulfilled. 6) He does not get fatigued & restless from seeking knowledge for all the length of his life. 7) He loves poverty more than the plentifulness & affluence, on the course of Allah. 8) And he loves disgrace &abjectness of the way of Allah more than the honour on the course of His enemy. 9) And anonymity is more liked by him than fame. Then he (A.S) said. "The tenth one & what is the tenth? The person asked him (A.S.) "What is that?" Imam (A.S.) reflected, "He does not see a person but that he says "He is better & more pious than myself."
