الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):
رأيتُ المَعـروفَ لا يَصلُحُ إلاّ بِثَلاثِ خِصالٍ : تَصغيرِهِ ، و تَستيرِهِ ، و تَعجيلِهِ ؛ فإنَّكَ إذا صَغَّرتَهُ عَظَّمتَهُ عِندَ مَن تَصنَعُهُ إلَيهِ ، و إذا سَتَرتَهُ تَمَّمتَهُ ، و إذا عَجَّلتَهُ هَنَّأتَهُ ، و إن كانَ غَيرَ ذلكَ سَخَّفتَهُ و نَكَّدتَهُ .

I have come to learn that the act of common courtesy is not completed unless through three features: deeming it insignificant, concealing it, and rushing to do it immediately; when you view it as little, you have made great in the eyes of the one you have done good to, when you conceal it, you have perfected it, and when you rush to do it, you have made it sweet, otherwise, [if you don’t do any of that], you will have rendered it worthless and bitter.

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
