26- الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنْ أرَدْتَ قَطِيعةَ أخيكَ فاستَبْقِ لَهُ مِن نفسِكَ بَقيّةً يَرجِعُ إليها إن بَدا لَه ذلكَ يوماً مّا.
26- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘If you want to cut off relations with your brother make sure to leave a place for him in your heart, so he can return to it one day when he so wishes.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Letter 31]
27- الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : ما أقبحَ القَطِيعةَ بعدَ الصِّلَةِ ، والجَفاءَ بعدَ الإخاءِ ، والعَداوةَ بعدَ المَودّةِ!.
27- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘How awful it is to cut off relations after having maintained them, to turn away after brotherhood, and to have animosity after amity.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 77, p. 210, no. 1]
28- الإمامُ الصادق (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : مَن وضَعَ حُبَّهُ في غيرِ موضعِهِ فقد تَعرَّضَ للقَطيعةِ.
28- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘A man who places his amity in the wrong place is bound to suffer abandonment.’[al-Mahasin, v. 1, p. 415, no. 950]
