Those who expend in prosperity and adversity: states of contrareity do not prevent them from expending, because of the soundness of their trust in God, as they see that all acts are from Him; and those who restrain their rage, for the same reason, since they see that any wrong committed against them is by an act of God and so they do not object; and if they were not to have rage [in the first place], their station would be that of [God's] satisfaction and the garden of the attributes; and who pardon their fellow-men, for the reason that we have mentioned and because of their seeking refuge in His pardon, exalted be He, from His retribution; and God loves those who are virtuous, those who witness the self-disclosures of His acts, exalted be He.
