Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “O' Believers! Whoever sees that a wrong act is being done, or a forbidden act is being advertised for and disapproves of these acts with his heart, remains healthy and stays pure from such wrong acts. But whoever forbids such acts verbally is more superior and receives a higher reward. Whoever forbids such acts with his sword in order to establish God's words and reject the oppressors is on the straight path to guidance. He is on the path to prosperity, and his heart will be filled with the light of certitude.”
قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): أيها المؤمنون! إن من يرى عدوانا يعمل به ومنكرا يدعى إليه وأنكره بقلبه فقد سلم وبرئ، ومن أنكره بلسانه فقد أوجر وهو أفضل من صاحبه، ومن أنكره بالسيف لتكون كلمة الله هي العليا كلمة الظالمين السفلى فذلك الذي أصاب سبيل الهدى وقام على الطريق ونور في قلبه اليقين.
