Risālah fī ʻilm al-akhlāq
Waraʻ, the restraint that makes knowledge profitable.
knowledge profits nothing without scrupulousness, nor beauty without sweetness, nor noble descent without breeding, nor gladness without security, nor riches without liberality, nor manliness (murūʼah) without humility, nor a heavy hand without heavy punishment, nor a modest manner of living without sufficiency, nor strenuous effort without the granting of success (tawfīq).
Adab al-wazīr
Waraʻ, scrupulous abstention, named as the criterion of good character.
the best of dispositions is the one that helps most toward scrupulousness (waraʻ).
