hadith 9894
Imam Ali (AS) said, Be equitable yourself before equity is sought from you, for indeed that is loftier for your status and more deserving of the pleasure of your Lord.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : أنْصِفْ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ قَبْلَ أنْ يُنْتَصَفَ مِنْكَ فَإنَّ ذلِكَ أجَلُّ لِقَدَرِكَ وَ أجْدَرُ بِرِضا رَبِّكَ

hadith 9995
Imam Ali (AS) said, I am amazed at the one who oppresses his own soul, how can he be fair to others?!
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ يَظْلِمُ نَفْسَهُ كَيْفَ يُنْصِفُ غَيْرَهُ

hadith 10149
Imam Ali (AS) said, Take control over your vain desires and the distress of your soul, for indeed the distress of the soul lies in acting equitably in [both] the things which it loves and [in those which it] hates.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اِمْلِكْ عَلَيْكَ هَواكَ وَ شَجى نَفْسِكَ فَإنَّ شَجَى النَّفْسِ اَلإنْصافُ مِنْها فيما أحَبَّتْ وَ كَرِهَتْ
