(ثَلَاثُ خَصَالٍ مُنْجِيَةٌ وَثَلَاثُ خَصَالٍ مُهْلِكَةٌ)
(Three traits that save and three traits that destroy)
Hadith 5122
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ثَلَاثٌ مُنْجِيَاتٌ وَثَلَاثٌ مُهْلِكَاتٌ فَأَمَّا الْمُنْجِيَاتُ: فَتَقْوَى اللَّهِ فِي السِّرِّ والعلانيةِ والقولُ بالحقِّ فِي الرضى وَالسُّخْطِ وَالْقَصْدُ فِي الْغِنَى وَالْفَقْرِ. وَأَمَّا الْمُهْلِكَاتُ: فَهَوًى مُتَّبَعٌ وَشُحٌّ مُطَاعٌ وَإِعْجَابُ الْمَرْءِ بِنَفْسِهِ وَهِيَ أَشَدُّهُنَّ «. رَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ الْأَحَادِيثَ الْخَمْسَةَ فِي» شعب الْإِيمَان
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Three things are causes of salvation and three things are causes of destruction. The things that cause salvation are: adopting the fear of Allah both outwardly and inwardly, speaking the truth in pleasure and displeasure, and adopting moderation in wealth and poverty. And the things that cause destruction are: following such desires that are obeyed, such miserliness that is followed, and a person's self-admiration, and this is the most destructive of all." Imam Bayhaqi has narrated all five hadiths in Shu'ab al-Iman. Its chain is weak, narrated by al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-Iman.
