Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The best of people in the sight of Allah is he who likes to act according to what is right - even if it brings him loss and misery - more than what is wrong, even if it brings him profit and increase of wealth.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنّ أفْضلَ النّاسِ عندَ اللّهِ مَن كانَ العَملُ بالحقِّ أحَبَّ إليهِ ـ وإنْ نَقَصَهُ وكَرَثَهُ ـ مِن الباطِلِ وإنْ جَرَّ إلَيهِ فائدةً وزادَهُ .
