مُنَاصِحُكَ مُشْفِقٌ عَلَيْكَ مُحَسِنٌ إِلَيْكَ نَاظِرٌ فِي عَوَاقِبِكَ مُسْتَدْرِكٌ فَوَارِطَكَ فَفِي طَاعَتِهِ رَشَادُكَ وَ فِي مُخَالَفَتِهِ فَسَادُكَ .
Imam Ali (as):
One who offers you good advice is being sympathetic towards you, doing you a favor, taking your future into consideration and trying to correct your shortcomings, thus, in his obedience, lies your progress and, in his defiance, lies your corruption.
