Re: Sayings of Pious People
Five are the marks of Allah fearing people;
1-They do not associate with people other than those with whom they can maintain terms on a religious basis.
2-They restrain their private parts and their tongues;
3-When they make any large temporal gain, they take it as a curse, and when they gain even a little piety, they consider it precious;
4-They do not eat to their full even of what is permitted for fear that anything forbidden might be mixed with it,
5-They consider all people pious and pardoned, but consider themselves as sinners.
