Imam Ali (AS) said, Nothing prevents any of you from meeting his brother who has a fault which he hates [and advising him to reform] except the fear that he too may meet you with a similar fault; indeed you have joined together in the love of this transitory [life] and have rejected the Hereafter.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : ما يَمْنَعُ أحَدَكُمْ أنْ يَلْقى أخاهُ بِما يَكْرَهُ مِنْ عَيْبِهِ إلاّ مَخافَةُ أنْ يَلْقاهُ بِمِثْلِهِ قَدْ تَصافَيْتُمْ عَلى حُبِّ العاجِلِ وَ رَفْضِ الآجِلِ
