From Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri radhiyallah hu ‘anhu who said that Allah’s Messenger pbuh said:
“The example of a believer with regard to iman (eemaan) is like the example of a horse with regards to its tethering stake; it roams around and then returns to its tethering stake, and the believer is negligent and then returns to iman. So feed the pious with your food and treat the believers well.”(hadith reported by Ibnul Mubarrak, Ahmad, Ibn Hibban and others)
So he does not persist upon sin nor treat it lightly. Rather like the rest of the children of Adam he commits many sins. However he is frequent in turning back in repentance to his Lord, returning penitent to his Creator. If he has any pride or arrogance, and this is something alien to the Islamic personality, then he does not have it with regard to his Lord since he is a weak servant, and his Lord is the One who Sustains the heavens and the Earth. So what has preceded will clearly show us: The Essential Characteristics of His Personality.
