Traits incompatible with true belief
Ṣifāt al-Shīʿa|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 59
أَبِي رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنِ اَلْحَارِثِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ ع قَالَ : لاَ يُؤْمِنُ رَجُلٌ فِيهِ اَلشُّحُّ وَ اَلْحَسَدُ وَ اَلْجُبْنُ وَ لاَ يَكُونُ اَلْمُؤْمِنُ جَبَاناً وَ لاَ شَحِيحاً وَ لاَ حَرِيصاً.
My father, Allah may have mercy upon him, narrated to us from Sa’d bin Abdullah from … al-Harithi that Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: Anyone who enjoys stinginess, envy, and cowardice cannot be believer. The believer is never coward, stingy, or acquisitive.
