Hadith 1063
۞
3. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said that the Almighty Allah says
“I swear by My honor that I will not accept the prayer of an oppressed for an injustice which he has also done to others.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یَقُولُ وَ عِزَّتِی وَ جَلَالِی لَأُجِیبُ دَعْوَهَ مَظْلُومٍ فِی مَظْلِمَهٍ ظُلِمَهَا وَ لَا حَدَّ عِنْدَهُ مِثْلُ تِلْکَ الْمَظْلِمَهِ.
