They are sincere towards their Lord beyond any trace of adulteration. They never leave the Lord’s court and become remote [from Him]; love for Him clings to their hearts and they unite their selves with their Beloved. They never flare up at people; rather, they guard their tongues, and if a harsh word happens to proceed from them, they make up for it with tenderness. They speak like an eloquent orator and their words are made eloquent by the grace of God. They spend their wealth on the poor and forge ahead in the face of trials and trib- ulations like a brave and courageous soldier. You will never see their faces turn red when angry, and in times of distress you will find them raising their heads towards their Lord like fish.
