۞
Imam Baqir (a.s) said that God's Prophet (a.s) said: “Whoever seeks the pleasure of the people in what raises God's anger will be admonished by the people who used to admire him before. God will protect whoever prefers to obey God, despite the people's displeasure, from any enemies. God the Almighty will remove from him the jealousy of any jealous ones, and the oppression of any oppressors, and will be his helper and protector.”
وعن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من طلب مرضاة الناس بما يسخط الله كان حامده من الناس ذاما، ومن آثر طاعة الله عز وجل بغضب الناس كفاه الله عز وجل عداوة كل عدو، وحسد كل حاسد، وبغي كل باغ، وكان الله عز وجل له ناصرا وظهيرا.
