The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: My Lord commanded me to adhere to nine things: He commanded me to:

Be sincere when in private and in public,

Be Just in times of peace and when in rage,

Be moderate in poverty and in abundance,

Be forgiving to him who wrongs me,

Share with him who deprives me (of his bestowals),

Acknowledge him who broke relations with me,

Ponder over things while I am silent,

Mention Him (God) whenever I speak, and

Learn lessons from things that I see.
