Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily everyone has faults, so do not expose that which is hidden from you, for indeed Allah, the Glorified, has hidden them out of clemency; and hide the faults [of others] as much as possible, [and in return] Allah, the Glorified, will hide that which you would like to remain hidden.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ لِلنّاسِ عُيُوباً فَلا تَكْشِفْ ما غابَ عَنْكَ فَإنَّ اللّهَ سُبْحانَهُ يَحْلُمُ عَلَيْها وَ اسْتُرِ العَوْرَةَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ يَسْتُرِ اللّهُ سُبْحانَهُ ما تُحِبُّ سَتْرَهُ
