 as for the one whom you have favored over him after he deserved it you have given him the way to criticize you and you have given him the argument against yourself. so everyone who acts without trust will turn what he intended to benefit into harm and what he intended to reform into corruption.
وأما من آثرت عليه بعد الاستحقاق منه، فقد جعلت له السبيل إلى الطعن عليك، وأعطيته الحجة على نفسك. فكل من يعمل على غير ثقة عاد ما أراد به النفع ضررا، والإصلاح فيه فسادا.
