hadith 607
Imam Ali (AS) said, It is disgraceful for a man to dissuade the people from evil actions and forbid them from vices and sins, and then perform the same deeds when he is alone and not refrain from them.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : يَقْبَحُ عَلَي الرَّجُلِ أنْ يُنْكِرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مُنكَرات وَ يَنهاهُمْ عَنْ رَذائِلَ وَ سَيِّئات وَ إذا خَلا بِنَفْسِهِ إرتَكَبَها وَ لا يَسْتَنْكِفُ مِنْ فِعْلِها

hadith 611
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily I deem myself higher than that I should forbid people from that which I do not forbid myself, or enjoin them towards that which I have not preceded them in performing, or that I should be pleased with their actions which my Lord is not pleased with.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنّي لأرفَعُ نَفْسي أنْ أنْهَى النَّاسَ عَمّا لَستُ أنْتَهي عَنْهُ أوْ آمُرَهُمْ بِما لا أسْبِقُهُمْ إلَيهِ بِعَمَلي أوْ أرضى مِنْهُمْ بِما لا يَرضي رَبيّ
