مَنْ أَمَرَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ نَهَى عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ أَوْ دَلَّ عَلَى خَيْرٍ أَوْ أَشَارَ بِهِ فَهُوَ شَرِيكٌ وَ مَنْ أَمَرَ بِسُوءٍ أَوْ دَلَّ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ أَشَارَ بِهِ فَهُوَ شَرِيكٌ .

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

He who enjoins good or prohibits wrong or guides towards good or suggests the doing of good will have a share in the reward. And the one who enjoins wrong or guides towards it or suggests the doing of wrong will have a share in its punishment.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

إِنَّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَدَقَةً قِيلَ مَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ص إِمَاطَتُكَ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ وَ إِرْشَادُكَ الرَّجُلَ إِلَى الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ وَ عِيَادَتُكَ الْمَرِيضَ صَدَقَةٌ وَ أَمْرُكَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ صَدَقَةٌ وَ نَهْيُكَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ صَدَقَةٌ وَ رَدُّكَ السَّلَامَ صَدَقَةٌ .

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

The Prophet (SAWA) said [to his companions]: 'It is incumbent upon every single Muslim to give charity every day.' When they exclaimed who would be capable of such a thing, he replied, ‘[Charity does not always involve spending money, so] Your removal of an obstacle from a pathway is an act of charity; your guiding someone to the right path is an act of charity; your visiting the sick is an act of charity; your enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong are acts of charity; and your returning someone’s greeting is an act of charity.’

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُعَذِّبُ الْعَامَّةَ بِذَنْبِ الْخَاصَّةِ إِذَا عَمِلَتِ الْخَاصَّةُ بِالْمُنْكَرِ سِرّاً مِنْ غَيْرِ أَن‏ تَعْلَمَ الْعَامَّةُ فَإِذَا عَمِلَتِ الْخَاصَّةُ بِالْمُنْكَرِ جِهَاراً فَلَمْ تُغَيِّرْ ذَلِكَ الْعَامَّةُ اسْتَوْجَبَ الْفَرِيقَانِ الْعُقُوبَةَ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

Imam Ali (as):

Allah will not punish the common people for the sins committed by the elites as long as they commit evil deeds in secret and the common people do not know about them. However, if the elites perpetuate evil deeds openly and the common people do nothing to change their conduct, both classes will deserve punishment from Allah, Mighty and Exalted..
