Imam Ali (AS) said, Bring yourself to be polite to your brother when he is harsh to you, and to build ties [with him] when he cuts you off, and to be generous [with him] when he is niggardly, and tolerate what he does and keep relations with him.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إحمِلْ نَفْسكَ عِندَ شِدَّةِ أخيكَ علَى اللّينِ وَ عِندَ قَطيعتهِ علَى الوَصلِ وَ عِندَ جُمودِهِ علَى البَذلِ وَ كُنْ للَّذي يَبدُو مِنْهُ حَمُولاً وَلَهُ وَصوُلاً
