Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-857b
"عَنْ عَلىٍّ قَالَ: الْمَعْرُوفُ أَفْضَلُ الْكُنُوزِ، وَأَحْصَنُ الْحُصُونِ، لا يُزْهدَنَّكَ كُفْرُ مَنْ كَفَرَك، فقد يَشْكُركَ عَليْه مَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَمْتِعْ مِنْهُ مِنْكَ بِشَىْءٍ، وقد يُدْرِكُ شُكْرُ الشَّاكِرِ مَا يُضَيّعُ الجَحُودُ الْكَافِرُ".

"On the authority of 'Ali, who said: 'Kindness is the best of treasures and the strongest of fortresses. Let not the disbelief of one who disbelieves in you make you abstain [from kindness], for one may thank you for it who has not benefited from you in anything, and the thanks of the grateful may reach what the ungrateful denier loses.'"
