Lesson 

  

 ‘As-sarraaa-‘i  wazzarraaa-‘i   - (in ease and in adversity), first attribute of the pious has been described here that they spend in grief and relief, riches and poverty (in both forms). They spend in the Way of Allah Almighty in each condition according to their capability.    

‘Al-kaazimiinal-gayza  - (they control their wrath), suffering from grief in one’s heart on invasive incidents and being in anger in unpleasantness is a natural thing. But, the righteous people control their anger. They do not disclose their wrath reasonably or without any reason, and do not use unpleasant words overwhelming by the anger.

‘Al-‘aafiina  - (forgiving), “its origin is ‘afu” which means ‘forgiveness’. That is to say; to ignore the mistake or negligence of anybody. It is a major characteristic out of the characteristics of the pious people.   

Faahishatan – (an open evil or wrong), this word has been derived from fahash, which means; such badness and sin, which is not hidden. 

lam  yusirruu  - {don’t repeat (the wrong)},  the word “ israar” is its source, which means “to become obstinate on one’s mistake and not to admit it. Whosoever has this badness, his correction becomes impossible.
