۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Try to remain unknown as much as you can. What will happen if the people do not admire you and you are blamed by the people but you are praiseworthy near God?”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
إن قدرتم أن لا تعرفوا فافعلوا، وما عليك إن لم يثن الناس عليك، وأن تكون عند الناس مذموما - إذا كنت - إذا كنت عند الله محمودا.
