92 – It was related on the authority of Saʿd ibn Shurahbīl al-Kindī, who said: I heard Saʿīd ibn ʿUṭārid say that one of the sages observed:

“The adornment of a person is Islam;
the adornment of Islam is sound intellect;
the adornment of intellect is forbearance;
the adornment of forbearance is restraining one’s anger;
the adornment of restraint is deliberate reflection and contemplation;
the adornment of reflection is steadfast patience;
and the adornment of patience is to halt at the boundary between obedience and sin.”
