(The book) ‘Kanz’ of Al Karajaky’ – ‘Luqman -as said: ‘One who does not swallow his anger, his enemies will gloat (over him)’’. [24] كَنْزُ الْكَرَاجُكِيِّ، قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ الْحِلْمُ سَجِيَّةٌ فَاضِلَةٌ. (The book) ‘Kanz’ of Al Karajaky – ‘Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘The forbearance is a meritorious quality’’. [25] – وَ قَالَ ع‏ مَنْ حَلُمَ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ ظَفِرَ بِهِ. And he -asws said: ‘One who forbears from his enemy will be victorious with him’’.

[26] – وَ قَالَ ع‏ شِدَّةُ الْغَضَبِ تُغَيِّرُ الْمَنْطِقَ وَ تَقْطَعُ مَادَّةَ الْحُجَّةِ وَ تُفَرِّقُ الْفَهْمَ. And he -asws said: ‘The severity of anger alters the logic, and cuts the substance of the argument, and scatters the understanding’’. [27] – وَ قَالَ ع‏ لَا عِزَّ أَنْفَعُ مِنَ الْحِلْمِ وَ لَا حَسَبَ أَنْفَعُ مِنَ الْأَدَبِ وَ لَا نَسَبَ أَوْضَعُ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ.
