43-4 In the year 314 A.H. (925 A.D.) Al-Hassan ibn Abdullah ibn Sa’eed Al-Askari narrated that Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Fadhl - known as ibn al-Khabbaz - quoted on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Ahmad al-Katib, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Al-Husayn - Abil Fay’yaz’s secretary, on the authority of his father, “We were present in the meeting held by Ali ibn Musa . A man complained about his brother. Then the Imam  said,Forgive your brother for his sins.Cover up and hide his imperfections.Calmly bear the accusations of the foolsAnd leave to time their declamations.Be noble and do not respondAnd entrust all oppressors to the Reckoner!”
