Prophet's Tradition

Nine Things

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said he had been commanded to do nine things by God, which are:-

  1. Fearing God in private and in public;
  2. Being just, whether in anger or in calmness;
  3. Being moderate in both poverty and affluence;
  4. Joining hands with those who break away from me;
  5. Giving to those who deprive me;
  6. Forgiving those who wrong me;
  7. Letting my silence be meditation;
  8. and my words – remembrance of God;
  9. and my vision – keen observation.
