True faith requires greater trust in God than in oneself

Hadith #381

٣١٠. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): لَا يَصْدُقُ إِيمَانُ عَبْدٍ، حَتّى يَكُونَ بِمَا فِي يَدِ اللهِ سُبْحَانَهُ أَوْثَقَ مِنهُ بِمَا فِي يَدِهِ.

310. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: The belief of a person cannot be regarded as true unless his trust in what is with Allāh is more than his trust in what he himself has.
