477. From him, from his father, from Al-Nowfaly, from Al-Sakuny, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said that the Amir-ul- Momineen (asws) said: ‘When the jurists and the scholars used to write to (deal with) each other, they did so in three ways, and there was no fourth. The one who thought of his Hereafter, Allah (azwj) Sufficed for his concerns of the world. And the one who corrected himself in secret, Allah (azwj) Corrected him publicly. And the one who corrected with regards to what was in between him and Allah (azwj), Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Corrected with regards to what was in between him and the people’.
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
