Imam al-Husayn (AS) said, ‘Keep away from doing that which you must excuse yourself for, for verily the believer neither commits a wrong nor makes excuses for himself, whereas the hypocrite commits wrongs and makes excuses for them everyday.
الإمامُ الحسينُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إيّاكَ وما تَعتَذِرُ مِنهُ ؛ فإنَّ المُؤمِنَ لا يُسيءُ ولا يَعتَذِرُ ، والمُنافِقَ كُلَّ يَومٍ يُسيءُ ويَعتَذِرُ.
