Ibn Abee Haatim-"I advise you with five matters:
When you are treated unjustly,do not behave unjustly;
When you are praised,do not become happy;
When you are criticized, do not become upset;
... When you are not believed,do not become angry;
And if people act deceitfully towards you, do not act deceitfully towards them."
Ibn Abee Haatim said:" So I took that as my benefit from Damascus."
