章 10: Saying Number 10

Amīr al-mu'minīn Imam Ali (as), peace be upon him, said:

Meet people in such a manner that

if you die they should weep for you

and if you live they should long for you. 5

5. To the person who behaves with others with benignity and manner-liness, people extend their hand of cooperation, they honour and respect him and shed tears after his death.
