Excessive love and baseless blame lead to ruin

قال السيد الرضي: وهذا مثل قوله (عليه ‏السلام): هَلَكَ فِيَّ رَجُلَانِ مُحِبٌّ غَالٍ ومُبْغِضٌ قَالٍ.
as-Sayyid ar-Raḍī says: This is on the lines of Amīr al-mu’minin’s own saying which runs as: “Two categories of persons will be ruined over me: the one who loves exaggeratingly and the hater and malicebearer.” [1]
