✦⋆· said to his companions, "Shall I tell you who is the toughest and strongest from among you?"

They replied, "Yes, O Prophet of Allah, do tell us",

So the Prophet (saw) said, "The strongest and toughest of you is he who, when he is happy, his happiness does not lead him to committing a sin or anything wrong, and when he gets angry, his anger does not prevent him from speaking the truth, and when he is empowered in any way, he does not take hold of that which is not lawfully his."

✦⋆· said, "Courage is a ready victory and an obvious virtue."

● "The most courageous of people is he who conquers his rashness with clemency."

●"The most courageous of people is the most generous of them."

● "A man's courage is in proportion to the extent of his ambition, and his zeal in proportion to the extent of his ardour."

● "If qualities were to be classified, honesty would be with courage, and cowardice with dishonesty."

● "When you feel afraid or nervous to do a thing then do it because the real harm which you may thus receive is less poignant than its expectation and fear."

● "Value of a man depends upon his courage; his veracity depends upon his self-respect and his chastity depends upon his sense of honor."

●"The bane of courage is losing one's judiciousness."

● "Courage has been created based on three natural characteristics, each of which has an exclusive merit over the rest.

They are: self-esteem, dignity [in the face of humiliation], and seeking a good reputation.

If they all attain perfection in the courageous man, he is an invincible hero, distinguished for his boldness in his generation. And if some of them are perfected in him more than others, then his courage will far supercede in those particular qualities over the rest."

✦⋆· was once asked about courage, to which he replied, "It is to know when to stand up to one's opponents, and when to be patient in the face of criticism."

✦⋆· said, "Verily…courage has a limit, which when overstepped becomes foolhardiness."
