And the honourable manners of the world and the Hereafter...

And the honourable manners of the world and the Hereafter are in three words from the Book of Allah -azwj : Take to the pardoning and instruct with the act of kindness and turn away from the ignorant ones [7:199] , and its interpretation is that you should connect the one who cuts you off, and pardon the one who is unjust to you, and give to the one who deprives you.’ [45] الدُّرَّةُ الْبَاهِرَةُ، قَالَ الرِّضَا ع‏ فِي تَفْسِيرِ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيلَ‏ عَفْوٌ بِغَيْرِ عِتَابٍ (The book) ‘Al Durr Al Bahira’ – Al-Reza -asws said in interpretation of Words of the Exalted: therefore, pardon with the beautiful pardoning [15:85] : ‘Pardon without reproach (without giving a hard time before pardoning)’.
