Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Many a person is given respite by Allah simply as a result of His good favour towards him, and many a person is deluded as a result of Allah s concealment of his sins, and many a person is captivated by the good things said about him!
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): كم مِن مُستَدرَجٍ بالإحسانِ إلَيهِ، ومَغرورٍ بِالسَّترِ علَيهِ، ومَفتونٍ بِحُسنِ القَولِ فيهِ!.
