Pearl of Wisdom
when Salman entered the room and he (SAWA) was leaning on a cushion, he gave it to Salman saying, ?O Salman, any Muslim who visits his Muslim brother, and the latter gives him a cushion [to sit on] in honour of him, Allah will forgive him.'
Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa] Ibid. v. 16, p. 235, no. 35

Letter 71 Imam Ali (a) had entrusted to Munzir bin Jarud Abdi something which he misappropriated. Thereupon Imam Ali (a) wrote the following letter to him.
The fact is that piety, honesty and righteousness of your father made me misjudge your character. I thought you were a worthy son of a worthy father and were following him in his honesty and righteousness. But all of a sudden I received about you news which confirms the fact that you do not check and control your inordinate desires, that you do not attach any importance to your life after death and you want to adorn and beautify you life at the cost of your salvation and that you are forsaking your religion to provide for your relatives. If all that is reported to me about you is correct, then the very camel you own or even the strap-shoe is superior to you. You and men of your calibre are not the persons to be confided with the financial affairs of a country or to be assigned to important vacancies of the State or to be entrusted to check and control dishonesty and disloyalty. Therefore, as soon as you receive this letter come back to me.
