Said by: Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (as)
Arabic:
شَرَفُ الْمُؤْمِنِ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ، وَعِزُّ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَفُّهُ عَنْ أَعْرَاضِ النَّاسِ
English translation:
The honour of the believer is the night prayer, and the dignity of the believer is his refraining from (harming) the honour of people.

💡 Explanation: Two things give a believer true honour: praying at night when no one is watching, and never harming another person's reputation. One is worship in private, the other is good character in public — together they make a person honourable before Allah and before people.
