Yahya ibn Muadh (rahimahullah) gathered the characteristics of the believers in one of his essays as follows,
# "It is to be full of modesty, and to be harmless too.
# To be full of goodness and not to be corrupt.
# For the tongue to be truthful, for the words to be little and to be plentiful in good action.
# To have little slip-ups and not to be excessive.
# To be good to one's relatives, building closeness between them.
# To be dignified and grateful. To be full of contentment if Allaah restricted some provision.
# To be forbearing and friendly to his brothers.
# To be compassionate and chaste.
# Not to curse, swear, insult, backbite, nor to gossip.
# Not to be hasty, envious, hateful, arrogant nor vain.
# Not to lean towards worldliness, nor to extend long hopes and wishes.
# Not to sleep too much nor to be absent-minded, nor to show-off nor be hypocritical.
# Not to be selfish, but to be soft and cheerful, not servile.
# Loving for the sake of Allaah, being pleased for His sake and being angry only for His sake.
# His provision is taqwaa (reverential fear of Allaah).
# His worries are what will happen to him in the Afterlife.
# His friends remind him.
# His beloved is His Protector and Master.
# His struggle is for the Afterlife."
