Hawzah News Agency – The commander of the faithful, Imam Ali peace be upon him says:
لا تَستَشِرِ الكَذّابَ؛ فإنّهُ كالسَّرابِ: يُقَرِّبُ علَيكَ البَعيدَ ويُبَعِّدُ علَيكَ القَريبَ.
‘Do not seek counsel from a liar for verily he is like a mirage – he makes that which is far appear near, and he makes that which is near appear far.’
