The Good Doer

Imam Ali (AS) said, Let not the good doer and the evildoer be equal in your eyes, for will make the good-doer abstain from his benevolence and will encourage the evildoer to continue his evil.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The charitable one needs the beggar.

Imam Ali (AS) said, Be open-handed but do not be wasteful.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The good doer person is one who is benevolent to all people.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The benevolent is supported, the malevolent is scorned.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The good doer is one whose words are affirmed by his actions.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The benevolent one is alive, even if he is transferred to the dwellings of the dead.

Imam Ali (AS) said, If you rush towards good whenever you see it, distance yourself from evil when you see it, act obediently [upon the commandments of Allah] and vie to acquire noble traits, then you are righteous and successful.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The worst of the benevolent ones is the one who puts others under obligation by his favour.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The doer of good deeds does not stumble, and when he does stumble, he finds a support [to hold on to].

Imam Ali (AS) said, Every good doer is affable.

Imam Ali (AS) said, The good doers are recognized by what the righteous people speak about them, and by their good deeds and virtuous conduct.
