- and as for a hated enemy then you will extinguish his firebrand with your kindness and suffice against his evil."

يقول ابن القيّم - رحمه الله
فليس للقلب أنفع من معاملة الناس باللطف وحب الخير لهم فإن معاملة الناس بذلك إما أجنبي فتكتسب مودّته ومحبته ، وإما صاحب وحبيب فتستديم صحبته ومودّته ، وإما عدوٌّ مبغض فتُطفئ بلطفك جمرته وتستكفي شره
وقال أيضا رحمه الله: ومن حمل الناس على المحامل الطيبة وأحسن الظنّ بهم سلمت نيته وانشرح صدره وعوفي قلبه وحفظه الله من السّوء والمكاره
