Pearl of Wisdom
											
	'Utterances fall under three categories: the truth, the lie, and reconciliation between people .... you may hear a man saying something about someone, which when they come to hear will lead them to feel malice towards the former. [In such a situation] you may instead tell them, 'I heard x speaking such good things about you', contrary to what you had heard.'
 Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]  Ibid. p. 341, no. 16

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.
