Hadith 1642
6. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: The bosom of the wise is the safe of his secrets; cheerfulness is the bond of friendship; effective forbearance is the grave of short-comings.
٦. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): صَدْرُ الْعَاقِلِ صُنْدُوقُ سِرِّهِ وَالْبَشَاشَةُ حِبَالَةُ الْمَوَدَّةِ وَالِاحْتِمَالُ قَبْرُ الْعُيُوبِ‏.

Hadith 1643
It is narrated that Amīr al-mu’minīn said in expressing this meaning that
Mutual reconciliation is the covering for short-comings; and he who admires himself attracts many opponents against him. [1]
وَرُوِيَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
فِي الْعِبَارَةِ عَنْ هَذَا الْمَعْنَى أَيْضاً : الْمَسْأَلَةُ خِبَاءُ الْعُيُوبِ وَمَنْ رَضِيَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ كَثُرَ السَّاخِطُ عَلَيْهِ.
