So let him who please believe, and let him who please disbelieve.
So let him who please believe, and let him who please disbelieve.”[^8] God says: “… and what is there after the truth but error; how are you then turned back?” [^9] Imam Reza (AS) has been reported as saying: “The most pious one is he who tells the truth whether it is in his own favor or it is against him.”[^10] Imam Ali’s advice to his son Imam Hossain (a.s.) is as follows: “O my son!
I advise you to fear Allah whether you are rich or poor, and (to say) the word of truth whether you are pleases or displeased.” [^11] Imam Ali (AS) has been reported as saying: “May Allah have mercy on you!
You are living at a time when few people tell the truth, the tongue is unable to speak truthfully, and one, who keeps to the truth, is (made) humble.”[^12] 4- “To wish for others what you wish for yourself and hate for them what you hate for yourself.” This has been mentioned in Kashf al-Ghaibeh on the authority of Imam Sadiq (AS)”[^13] Imam Sadiq has also been reported as saying: “Jesus son of Mary (AS) said to some of his disciples: ‘Do not do to others what you do not like to be done to you.
If someone gives you a blow on the right side of the face, turn to him the left side of your face.”[^14] Evidently, this ruling belongs to Christianity. In Islam, there is retaliation, and Prophet Jesus (a.s.) might mean, in this saying, forgiveness and pardoning. 5- To have good relationship; Imam Sadiq (AS) has been reported as saying: “I advise you to fear Allah, to give back the trust to its owners, to tell the truth, and to have good relation with one you associate with.
There is no strength or power save with Allah, the Most High, the Great.”[^15] Imam Baqir (AS) has said: “My grandfather, Imam Ali (AS), was a companion of a Christian man. When he was traveling, the Christian man asked: ‘What is your destination, O servant of God?’ Imam Ali (AS) said: ‘I want to go to Kufa.’ When they reached an intersection, the Christian took his own way. Imam Ali (AS) accompanied him to a certain point.
The Christian asked: ‘Did you not want to go to Kufa?’ Imam Ali (AS) said: ‘I know the way?’ The Christian asked: ‘Then, why are you coming with me?’ The Imam said: ‘What I am doing shows the best way of friendship. A man should see off his co-traveler by going with him to a certain point when they part.
