Never be suspicious about what you hear your believing brothers......


Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "May God have Mercy upon those who make us loved by the people, and not hated by them. I swear by God that if they quote our good sayings for others, they will become dearer and no one can ascribe anything to them." 

Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: "Control your behavior through good deeds and try to guide yourself towards the noblest characteristics. Try to get accustomed to patience, and persevere to self-sacrifice even in cases that your great efforts are little appreciated. Do not be picky with people and try to maintain your nobility by forgiving minor faults. Try to save a weak person who is expecting you to help him if you can, or seek help from others using your position and social status if you cannot save him yourself. Do not try to discover the secrets of the people since the people will blame you. Do not lie since lying is the worst habit. It is the lowest form of behavior. It is similar to swearing. It is a form of inferiority. Be noble, and forgive minor issues, and do not investigate them further." In another tradition we read: "Forgive and do not investigate minor issues." 

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: "Love your Muslim brothers, and like for them what you like for yourself. Ask them for help if you need anything, and fulfill their needs if they ever ask you for help. Do not hide from them any good things, as they are your supporters. When they are not present, support them in their absence until they returns, then go to see them when they return.Honor them since you are from them and they are from you. If they blame you, do not abandon them, and let them express what bothers them. Praise God when they receives some good things, and help and support them when they suffer from a calamity." 

Imam Sadiq (a.s) narrated that his noble grandfather (a.s) quoted on the 
authority of Imam Ali (a.s) who quoted on the authority of the Prophet of God (a.s): "The most pious person is the one with the purest heart and the one who wishes all the best." 

Imam Ali (a.s) said: "Never be suspicious about what you hear your believing brothers say when you can find a way to justify it."
