Pearl of Wisdom
'The Ishmael that Allah mentions in His book And mention in the Book Ishmael ... was not Ishmael son of Abraham, rather he was one of the prophets whom Allah Almighty sent to his people, who took him and skinned his head and face. An angel came to him and said, 'Allah has sent me to you, so command me with whatever you wish.' He said, 'I have an example before me in what will be done to al?Husayn (AS).' ?
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as] Ilal al-Shara'i', p. 77, no. 2

Sermon 158 Good behaviour with people and ignoring their faults
I lived as a good neighbour to you and tried my best to look after you, and I freed you from the snare of humbleness and the fetters of oppression through my gratefulness for the little good (from your side) and closed my eyes to your many misdeeds which my eyes had observed and my body had witnessed.
