الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وسئل عليه السلام أَيّما أَفضل: العدل، أَو الجود؟ فقال: الْعَدْلُ يَضَعُ الاْمُورَ مَوَاضِعَهَا، والْجُودُ يُخْرِجُهَا عَنْ جِهَتِهَا، وَالْعَدْلُ سَائِسٌ عَامٌّ، وَالْجُودُ عَارضٌ خَاصٌّ، فَالْعَدْلُ أَشْرَفُهُمَا وَأَفْضَلُهُمَا

Imam Ali (as):

ʿAlī was asked, “Which is better, justice or generosity?” he replied: Justice puts things in their rightful place, while generosity takes things out of their proper direction. Justice is a universal motivator, while generosity is a particular caretaker. Thus, justice is nobler and better of the two.

لِابْنِهِ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّى أَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ الْفَقْرَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّ الْفَقْرَ مَنْقَصَةٌ لِلدِّينِ مَدْهَشَةٌ لِلْعَقْلِ دَاعِيَةٌ لِلْمَقْتِ

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (AS), speaking to his son Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya, said, 'O son, I fear for you because of poverty, so seek refuge in Allah from it, for poverty brings diminishment in one's faith, confusion to the intellect and is a motive for hatred.'

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

أَعْدَلُ النَّاسِ مَنْ أَنْصَفَ مَنْ ظَلَمَهُ ، أَجْوَرُ النَّاسِ مَنْ ظَلَمَ مَنْ أَنْصَفَهُ .

Imam Ali (as):

The most just person is the one who maintains fairness to someone who has wronged him, and the most unjust person is the one who wrongs someone who has been fair to him.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

لَا يَكُونَنَّ أَفْضَلُ مَا نِلْتَ مِنْ دُنْيَاكَ بُلُوغَ لَذَّةٍ أَوْ شِفَاءَ غَيْظٍ وَ لْيَكُنْ إِحْيَاءَ حَقٍّ وَ إِمَاتَةَ بَاطِلٍ .

Imam Ali (as):

Let not your greatest achievement in this world be gaining a pleasure or venting your anger, but [let it be] the revival of a right and putting an end to falsehood.

إنَّ النّاسَ يَستَغنونَ إذا عُدِلَ بَينَهُم ، و تُنزِلُ السَّماءُ رِزقَها ، و تُخرِجُ الأَرضُ بَرَكَتَها بِإِذنِ اللّهِ تَعالى .

:

If justice is maintained among people, they will become free from need, the sky will pour down its sustenance [rain], and the earth will bring out its blessings [plants, fruits and minerals] with the permission of Allah Almighty.

الإمام الكاظم (عليه السَّلام):

الإمامُ الكاظمُ عليه السلام ـ في قَولِه تَعالى : «يُحْيِي الأَرْضَ بَعدَ مَوتِها» ـ : لَيسَ يُحيِيها بِالقَطْرِ، و لكِنْ يَبعَثُ اللّهُ رِجالاً فيُحيُونَ العَدلَ فتَحيا الأرضُ لإحياءِ العَدلِ، و لاَءقامَةُ الحَدِّ للّهِِ أنفَعُ في الأرضِ مِنَ القَطرِ أربَعينَ صَباحا .

Imam al-Kazim (as):

Regarding the verse: “and [Allah] revives the earth after its death.” Imam al-Kazim (as) said, 'Allah revives the earth, not through rain, but by sending men who revive justice and that is how the earth is brought to life by upholding justice. Verily upholding the limits set by Allah is more beneficial in the earth than raining for forty days.'

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

ما أقبَحَ الفَقرَ بَعدَ الغِنى، و أقبَحَ الخَطيئَةَ بَعدَ المَسكَنَةِ ! وَ أقبَحُ مِن ذلِكَ العابِدُ للّهِِ ثُمّ يَدَعُ عِبادَتَهُ .

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

How awful it is to become poor after being rich, to be drawn to wrong after destitution, but worse than that is when the worshipper of Allah abandons His worship.
