The Book of Asceticism · Hadith 10 (#Ḥadīth #7)
Chapter 1 | On silence Except when Speaking what is Good, Abandonment of what does not concern one, and Slander
محمد بن سنان عن عمار بن مروان والحسين بن مختار عن أبي بصير عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إياكم وما يعتذر منه فان المؤمن لا يسئ ولا يعتذر والمنافق يسيئ كل يوم ويعتذر منه.
7.Muḥammad ibn Sinān narrated from ʿAmmār ibn Marwān and al-Ḥusayn ibn Mukhtār, from Abū Baṣīr, [1] from Abū ʿAbdillāh who said, “Beware of that for which apology is required, for indeed the believer does not do wrong and does not [have to] apologize, while the hypocrite does [something] wrong every day and [then repeatedly] apologizes for it.”
