Imam Ali (AS) said, The noble-minded person forgives despite having the power [to exact revenge], is just in his rule, restrains his harm [from others] and bestows [favours] generously.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلْكَريمُ يَعْفُو مَعَ القُدْرَةِ وَ يَعْدِلُ فِي الإمْرَةِ وَ يَكُفُّ إسائَتَهُ وَيَبْذُلُ إحْسانَهُ
