Imam Ali (AS) said, Do away with revenge, for indeed it is from the worst actions of the powerful, and he who raises himself above the evil of reprisals has taken hold of the accumulation of merits.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : دَعِ الاِنْتِقامَ فَإنَّهُ مِنْ أسْوَءِ أفْعالِ المَقْتَدِرِ وَ لَقَدْ أخَذَ بِجَوامِعِ الفَضْلِ مَنْ رَفَعَ نَفْسَهُ عَنْ سُوءِ المُجازاةِ
