۳۶۰. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): لَا تَظُنَّنَّ بِكَلِمَةٍ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ سَوءاً، وَأَنْتَ تَجِدُ لَهَا فِي الْخَيْرِ مُحْتَمَلاً.


Translation

360. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: Do not regard an expression uttered by any person as evil if you can find it capable of bearing some good.
