You should desire for others what you desire for yourself, and hate for others what you hate for yourself. Do not oppress, just as you do not like to be oppressed. Do good to others just as you would like good to be done to you. Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others. Accept that treatment from others which you would like others to accept from you. Do not say to others what you do not like to be said to you.
Ali ibn Abi TalibBe a good man to Allah and a bad man to yourself (desires); and be one of the commoners among the people
Ali ibn Abi TalibNever explain yourself to anyone, because the one who likes you would not need it, and the one dislikes you wouldn't believe it.
