[Machine] "Love moderately and hate moderately, for there have been nations who were destroyed due to excessive love for other nations, and there have been nations who were destroyed due to excessive hatred for other nations. Do not exceed in love and do not exceed in hatred."  

الزهد لأحمد:١٥٣١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ

«أَحِبُّوا هَوْنًا وَأَبْغِضُوا هَوْنًا فَقَدَ أَفْرَطَ أَقْوَامٌ فِي حُبِّ أَقْوَامٍ فَهَلَكُوا وَأَفْرَطَ أَقْوَامٌ فِي بُغْضِ أَقْوَامٍ فَهَلَكُوا لَا تُفْرِطْ فِي حُبٍّ وَلَا تُفْرِطْ فِي بُغْضٍ»
