Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “A warm welcome brings love, and patience helps bury the faults. Getting along helps cover up the faults. Nothing but being good-tempered helps the people to get closer to each other.”
عن أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) قال
البشاشة حبالة المودة، والاحتمال قبر العيوب، والمسالمة خبء العيوب، ولا قربى كحسن الخلق.
