Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Do not let your friend know your secrets, unless these secrets will not harm you if your enemies hear them. One day your friend might turn into your enemy.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
لا تطلع صديقك من سرك إلا على ما لو اطلعت عليه عدوك لم يضرك، فإن الصديق قد يكون عدوا يوما ما.
