إرشادُ الإخوانِ Advising Brothers

62- رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : المؤمنُ مِرآةٌ لأخيهِ المؤمنِ ، يَنْصَحُهُ إذا غابَ عنه، ويُمِيطُ عنه ما يَكْرهُ إذا شَهِدَ.

62- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘A believer is a mirror for his believing brother; he stays faithful to him in his absence and spares him from what he would hate to see.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 74, p. 233, no. 29]

 

63- الإمام عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : مَن وَعَظَ أخاهُ سِرّا فَقَد زانَهُ ، ومَن وعَظَهُ عَلانِيَةً فَقَد شانَهُ.

63- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘He who advises his brother in private adorns him, and he who advises him publicly makes him look bad.’[Ibid. p. 166, no. 29]

 

64- الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : مَن رأى أخاهُ عَلى أمرٍ يَكرَهُهُ فَلم يَرُدَّه عَنهُ وَهُو يَقدِرُ علَيهَ فقد خانَهُ.

64- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘A man who observes bad behavior in his brother without forbidding him from it – whilst he is able to – has indeed betrayed him.’[Ibid. v. 75, p. 65, no. 2]
