Sometimes a person is a victim of oppression and he curses till the time he himself becomes the oppressor.”

"On the Day of Judgment, a man will approach another man and smear him with blood while the people are being held accountable. The (other) man will say, 'O' servant of Allah (swt), what do I have to do with you?' The man will reply: 'Did you not assist in my killing on such and such a day with a single word, and thus I was killed?'"

“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Whoever comforts the poor with his property and yields to justice for people against his own soul indeed is a believer.”

O Ans! Make complete ablutions so that you may cross the Bridge just like a cloud; express your greetings aloud so that there are increased blessings in your house; and give a lot of charity in private so as to quench the Honorable the Exalted God’s Wrath.”

The true believer is he whose rage does not take him out of the right and whose satisfaction does not enter him into the wrong. When he has power, he should not seize more than that which is his right.

“One who helps an oppressed believer its reward is better than that of fasting for a month and performing Etekaf in Masjidul Haraam. One who is capable of helping a Muslim and helps him, the Almighty Allah will help him in the world and the hereafter. If a believer is being backbited and a person capable of helping him remains silent and does not defend him, the Almighty Allah will make him deprived in the world and the hereafter.”

Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "Should I not guide you to the most important obligations Allah has placed upon His creatures? To be fair and just with people in their dealings; to be comforting to the brothers in faith; to remember Allah in every situation. And when he faces a matter of obedience to Allah, he acts accordingly and when he comes across any sin, he shuns it."

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Allah will make three types of people enter Paradise without any accounting – a just leader, a truthful trader and an elderly person who spent his life in Allah’s obedience.”

“About the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, . . they and rebellious ones will all be thrown headlong into hell. . . .,’ (26:94) the Imam said, ‘O abu Basir, they are those who preach justice by their tongues, but they themselves do not yield to justice.’”

“Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) said, ‘Three things are such that people cannot [easily] bear them: pardoning [the wrongs of] others, assisting someone [else] with one’s wealth, and remembering Allah often.’” Ibn Abī Yaʿqūb said, “Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) said, ‘Whoever speaks regarding [a matter pertaining to] justice yet goes against it [himself] to something else, he shall be burdened with [great] regret on the Day of Resurrection.’”

Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who takes up the leadership of ten persons and is not able to do justice to them, will come on the Day of Judgment with his hands, feet and head perforated.”

3-16 Muhammad ibn Ali Majiluyih - may God forgive him - narrated that his uncle Muhammad ibn Abil-Qasim quoted Ahmad ibn Aba Abdullah al-Barqy, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Ubayd, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Alvan, on the authority of Amr ibn Sabit, on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB), on the authority of his forefathers (MGB), on the authority of Ali (MGB), “There are three people who would not get what is rightfully theirs from three other people. They are the honorable ones (who would not take what is rightfully theirs) from the wicked ones; the patient ones from the ignorant ones; and the good-doers from the evildoers.”

“Three people of all creatures will be the closest to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, on the Day of Judgment until all accounting is finished: a man whose power does not lead him in anger to do injustice to his subjects, a man who mediates between two people and does not lean toward anyone of them even to the size of a grain of bailey (needle’s head), and a man who speaks the truth regardless, it is for or against his own self.”

There is a rank in Heaven which no one but a just leader, intimate and kind relative, or a patient husband can attain.”

Commander of the Faithful (MGB) said, “All Muslim decrees are put into effect in either one of the three ways: a just testimony, a definite oath, or the current practice of leaders to guidance.”

6. My father (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said, on the authority of al-Haytham ibn Abu Masruq al-Nahdi, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, on the authority of `Ali ibn Ri`ab, on the authority of al-Halabi that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said, Verily, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, made Ibrahim and Sarah feed the children of the believers from the tree in Paradise, which has udder like the udder of a cow. They are in palaces made from pearls. When the Day of Judgement comes, they will be dressed up, perfumed, and brought to their parents. Both the children and their parents will be royalty in Paradise.

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “You are sure to go to Heaven if you perform the following three acts: charity during the times of poverty, treating all the people kindly, and being just with yourself.”

“Treat the people justly, and help them with your property. Be pleased for them with what you are pleased with for yourself. Remember God often.”

“Justice is sweeter than honey, softer than butter and smells sweeter than musk.”

“Whoever yields to justice for people against his own soul is accepted to judge others’ cases.”
