Hadith

Amir al-Muminin, Imam Ali (AS)

إنِّي لَأَرْفَعُ نَفْسِي عَنْ أَنْ أَنْهَى اَلنَّاسَ عَمَّا لَسْتُ أَنْتَهِي عَنْهُ أَوْ آمُرَهُمْ بِمَا لاَ أَسْبِقُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ بِعَمَلِي أَوْ أَرْضَى مِنْهُمْ بِمَا لاَ يَرْضَى رَبِّي

Verily I deem myself higher than that I should forbid people from that which I do not forbid myself, or enjoin them towards that which I have not preceded them in performing, or that I should be pleased with their actions which my Lord is not pleased with
