Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Do not do what you will later have to apologize for, since a believer does not do anything for which he has to apologize. However a hypocrite always does wicked acts and apologizes later.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
إياكم وما يعتذر منه فإن المؤمن لا يسئ ولا يعتذر، والمنافق يسئ كل يوم ويعتذر.
