1ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إيّاكَ وما تَعتَذِرُ مِنهُ ؛ فإنَّ فيهِ الشِّركَ الخَفِيَّ. |
| 1– It is narrated in Misbah al-Shari`aa (Lantern of the Path) that the Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Keep away from doing that which you must excuse yourself for, for verily that involves hidden polytheism.’[Misbah al-Shari`aa, p. 403] |

2ـ الإمامُ الحسينُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إيّاكَ وما تَعتَذِرُ مِنهُ ؛ فإنَّ المُؤمِنَ لا يُسيءُ ولا يَعتَذِرُ ، والمُنافِقَ كُلَّ يَومٍ يُسيءُ ويَعتَذِرُ. |
| 2– Imam al-Husayn (AS) said, ‘Keep away from doing that which you must excuse yourself for, for verily the believer neither commits a wrong nor makes excuses for himself, whereas the hypocrite commits wrongs and makes excuses for them everyday.’[Tuhaf al-`Uqoul, no. 248] |

3ـ مُفَضّلِ بنِ عُمرَ: قالَ أبو عَبدِ اللّهِ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا يَنبَغي لِلمُؤمِنِ أن يُذِلَّ نَفسَهُ ، قُلتُ: بِما يُذِلُّ نَفسَهُ ؟ قالَ: يَدخُلُ فيما يَعتَذِرُ مِنهُ. |
| 3– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘A believer must never humiliate himself.’ When asked how he would humiliate himself, he replied, ‘By embarking upon something which he later has to make excuses for.’[Mishkat al-Anwar, no. 50] |
