Hadiths Of

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.

الإمام الكاظم (عليه السَّلام):

أخَذَ أبي بِيَدي ، ثُمَّ قالَ : يا بُنَيَّ ، إنَّ أبي مُحَمَّدَ بنَ عَلِيٍّ عليه السلام أخَذَ بِيَدي كما أخذتُ بِيَدِكَ و قالَ : إنَّ أبي عَلِيَّ بنَ الحُسَينِ عليهما السلام أخَذَ بِيَدي و قالَ : يا بُنَيَّ افعَلِ الخَيرَ إلى كُلِّ مَن طَلَبَهُ مِنكَ ، فإن كانَ مِن أهلِهِ فقَد أصَبتَ مَوضِعَهُ ، و إن لَم يَكُن مِن أهلِـهِ كُنتَ أنتَ مِن أهلِهِ ، و إن شَتَمَكَ رَجُلٌ عَن يَمينِكَ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ إلى يَسارِكَ فَاعتَذَرَ إلَيكَ فَاقبَلْ عُذرَهُ .

Imam al-Kazim (as):

My father, once, held my hand and said, 'My son, my father; Muhammad ibn Ali (al-Baqir) once held my hand as I am holding yours right now and said, …My son, do good to everyone who seeks good from you, for if he is worthy of it, then you have deposited it in its proper place, and even if he is not worthy of good, you are worthy of doing it. And if someone insults you on your right hand side, then moves over to your left and apologizes to you, accept his apology.'

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

التَّوَاضُعُ دَرَجَاتٌ، مِنْهَا أَنْ يَعْرِفَ الْمَرْءُ قَدْرَ نَفْسِهِ، فَيُنْزِلَهَا مَنْزِلَتَهَا بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ، لَايُحِبُّ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ‏ إِلى‏ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا مِثْلَ مَا يُؤْتى‏ إِلَيْهِ، إِنْ رَأى‏ سَيِّئَةً دَرَأَهَا بِالْحَسَنَةِ، كَاظِمُ الْغَيْظِ، عَافٍ عَنِ النَّاسِ، وَ اللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Humbleness has stages; that one knows the value of his self and places it in its right position with a sincere heart, that he likes to treat people the same way he expects them to treat him, that he responds the wrong with good, that he controls his anger and forgives the people. And Allah likes the good doers.
