Imam Ali (AS) said, When one of the pious believers is extolled [for his virtues], he fears what is said about him, so he says: I know myself better than others, and my Lord knows me better than myself. O Allah! Do not hold me accountable for what they say and make me better than what they think of me.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إذا زُكِّيَ أحَدٌ مِنَ المُتَّقينَ خافَ مِمّا يُقالُ لَهُ فَيَقُولُ: أنَا أعْلَمُ بِنَفْسي مِنْ غَيْري وَ رَبّي أعْلَمُ بِنَفْسي مِنّي اَللّهُمَّ لاتُؤاخِذْني بِما يَقُولُونَ وَ اجْعَلْني أفْضَلَ مِمّا يَظُنُّونَ
