Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)
“All goodness is in the sword and under its shadow. The people will not be directed to the right path except by the force of the sword. Swords are keys to Heaven and Hell.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): الخير كله في السيف وتحت ظل السيف، ولا يقيم الناس إلا بالسيف، والسيوف مقاليد الجنة والنار.
