Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily enjoining good and forbidding evil neither brings death near nor decreases sustenance, rather it multiplies reward and magnifies recompense; and a just word in the presence of an oppressive ruler is [even] better than this.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الأمْرَ بالمَعروفِ وَ النَّهيَ عنِ المُنْكَرِ لا يُقَرِّبانِ مِنْ أجَل وَلا يَنْقُصانِ مِنْ رِزق لكنْ يُضاعِفانِ الثَّوابَ و يُعْظِمانِ الأجْرَ وَ أفْضَلُ مِنْهُما كَلِمَةُ عَدْل عِندَ إمام جائر
