1015. WORSE THAN EVIL

3232.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : خَصلَتانِ ليسَ فَوقَهُما مِنَ البِرِّ شَي‏ءٌ : الإيمانُ بِاللَّه والنَّفعُ لِعبادِ اللَّهِ ، وخَصلَتانِ لَيسَ فَوقَهُما مِنَ الشَّرِّ شَي‏ءٌ : الشِّركُ بِاللَّهِ والضُّرُّ لِعِبادِ اللَّهِ .1

3232.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'There are two virtues unexcelled by anything better: faith in Allah, and being of benefit to Allah's servants. And there are two iniquities unsurpassed by anything worse: associating something with Allah, and causing harm to Allah's servants.' 2

3233.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إنّهُ ليسَ شَي‏ءٌ بِشرٍّ مِنَ الشَّرِّ إلّا عِقابَهُ ، ولَيسَ شَي‏ءٌ بِخَيرٍ مِنَ الخَيرِ إلّا ثَوابَهُ .3

3233.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'There is nothing worse than an evil deed except for its own punishment, and there is nothing better than a good deed except for its own reward.' 4

3234.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : فاعِلُ الشَّرِّ شَرٌّ مِنهُ .5

3234.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The doer of evil is worse than the evil itself.' 6

1014. The Yardstick of Good and Evil

(كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ القِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَى‏ أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئاً وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَى‏ أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئاً وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَ).1

"Warfare has been prescribed for you, though it is repulsive to you. Yet it may be that you dislike something while it is good for you, and it may be that you love something while it is bad for you, and Allah knows and you do not know." 2

(وَيَدْعُ الإِنْسانُ بِالشَّرِ دُعاءَهُ بِالخَيْرِ وَكانَ الإنْسانُ عَجُولاً).3

"Man prays for evil as [avidly as] he prays for good, and man is overhasty." 4

3230.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : ما خَيرٌ بِخَيرٍ بَعدَهُ النارُ ، وما شَرٌّ بِشَرٍّ بَعدَهُ الجَنَّةُ ، وكُلُّ نَعيمٍ دُونَ الجَنَّةِ فهُو مَحقورٌ ، وكُلُّ بَلاءٍ دُونَ النارِ عافِيَةٌ .5

3230.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'That good whose end consequence is the Fire is not good, and that hardship whose end consequence is Paradise is not bad. Every bliss other than Paradise is inferior, and every calamity other than the Fire itself is a comfort.' 6

3231.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إنّ اللَّهَ سبحانَهُ أنزَلَ كِتاباً هادِيَاً بَيَّنَ فيه الخَيرَ والشَّرَّ ، فَخُذُوا نَهجَ الخَيرِ تَهتَدُوا ، واصدِفُوا عَن سَمْتِ الشَّرِّ تَقصِدُوا .7

3231.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Allah, Glorified be He, has sent down a guiding Book wherein He has explained good and evil, so adopt the course of good so that you be rightly guided, and turn away from the direction of evil so that you remain focused on the right way.' 8
