Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Do not seek counsel from a liar for verily he is like a mirage, he makes that which is far appear near, and he makes that which is near appear far.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا تَستَشِرِ الكَذّابَ ؛ فإنّهُ كالسَّرابِ: يُقَرِّبُ علَيكَ البَعيدَ ويُبَعِّدُ علَيكَ القَريبَ.
