Pearl of Wisdom
in denouncing wrongdoing, 'By Allah, I would rather spend a sleepless night on the thorns of the Sa'dan tree [a type of prickly tree], or be driven as a prisoner in shackles, than meet Allah and His Messenger on the Day of Resurrection having wronged any servant or having usurped any kind of worldly wealth. How can I wrong anyone for the sake of this soul that is rapidly hastening towards destruction and is to remain under the earth for a long time?'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Baldgha, Sermon 224

Ethics - Good Manners Melt a Hard Heart |
|
In the Holy Qur'an
Repel (evil) with what is best, and lo! He between whom and you was enmity would be as if he were a warm friend (41:34)
In the Traditions
The Prophet said, "I have been sent to perfect the nobility of your character."
The Prophet said, "Good character melts sins as the sun melts ice, and bad character spoils an action just as vinegar spoils honey."
A man came to the Prophet saying "O Prophet of God, which prople have the most perfect faith?" "Those of them who have the best character", he replied.
Imam Ali said, "Cheerfulness is the basis of love, tolerance the burial of faults, conciliation the concealing of shortcomings, and there is no better relative than good character."
