Imam Ridha/Reza (AS) was asked: Who are the best of God’s servants?

Imam Ridha (AS) replied: Those who when they carry out a good deed, they become happy. And whenever they do a wrong act, they ask for forgiveness from God. And whenever they are given blessings by God, they give thanks. And whenever they are inflicted with calamity, they adopt patience. And whenever they are angry, they forgive and forget [1].
