To admonish your brother in private is to advise him and improve him. But to admonish him publicly is to disgrace and shame him.
Al-Shafi‘iYou say that you are just a body, but inside of you is something greater than the Universe.
Al-Shafi‘iNever do I argue with a man with a desire to hear him say what is wrong, or to expose him and win victory over him. Whenever I face an opponent in debate I silently pray - O Lord, help him so that truth may flow from his heart and on his tongue, and so that if truth is on my side, he may follow me; and if truth be on his side, I may follow him.
Al-Shafi‘i
