Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Do not let your brother be stronger in his avoidance of you than you are in your maintaing relations with him, and do not be stronger in your harm to him than in your kindness towards him.
الإمام عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لا يَكُونَنَّ أخوكَ أقوى على قَطيعتِكَ منكَ على صِلَتِهِ ، ولا تَكُونَنّ على الإساءَةِ أقوى منكَ علَى الإحسانِ.
