What is Faith?

English book, p. 177

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Conceit: the most evil trait Speaking of three saving graces and three destructive traits, the Prophet observed that the former were “fear of God both in public and in private; speaking the truth whether calm or angry; and moderation whether one is rich or poor.” The three destructive traits he mentioned as being the satisfaction of one’s own desires, miserliness and conceit. “And the last one, that is the worst of all,” he said. (AL-BAIHAQI, AL-SUNAN AL-KUBRA)
