Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Once when the Prophet (a.s) was passing by a group of people who were trying to lift a rock, he asked them why they did so? They said that they were trying to find out who the strongest was. The Prophet (a.s) told them that he could tell them who the strongest man was if they wished him to do so. When they said they wished to hear the Prophet (a.s), he said the one who is the strongest is the one who does not engage in sin or wrong deeds whenever he is satisfied; one who does not utter but what is right when he is angry; and does not do what is unjust when he is powerful.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
مر النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) بقوم يرفعون حجرا، فقال: ما يدعوكم إلى هذا؟ فقالوا: لنعرف أشدنا وأقوانا، فقال: ألا أخبركم بأشدكم وأقواكم؟ قالوا: بلى، قال: هو الذي إذا رضي لم يدخله رضاه في باطل، وإذا غضب لم يخرجه غضبه من حق، وإذا قدر لم يتعاط ما ليس له.
