Sayings of Imam Hussain (a.s.) -28

Imam Hussain (as) said to one of his followers : Which one is preferred to you? Saving the life of a weak man who is being killed by an oppressor , or saving a poor believer from among our Shi’as , who is being misled by an unbeliever and an enemy to the household of the prophet , through false reasoning and arguing ?Then Imam himself replied : Certainly saving the poor believer , as God Almighty says. " Reviving a misguided man by enlightening him , is tantamount to reviving all the world's people. "(Tafseer Al - Askari or Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 2 , P. 9)

For a king , the worst characteristics are three :fearing enemies , oppressing the weak , and being ungenerous. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 44 , P. 189)

"Avoid embarking on a task that is beyond your tolerance."(Aaian Ashi'a , Vol. 1 , P. 621)

" Do not try for what you cannot win. "(Aaian Ashi'a , Vol. 1 , P. 621)

" Spend as much as you earn , not more. "(Aaian Ashi'a , Vol. 1, P. 621)

"Do not expect to be rewarded more than you deserve." (Aaian Ashi'a , Vol. 1 , P. 621)
