Imam Baqir (a.s) was questioned about an evil man. They asked: “Should we defame him in public, or should we treat him with patience?” Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “It is better to treat him with patience than to defame him. There is always relief after every difficulty: “Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.” [The Holy Quran: Inshirah 94:6]
