1061. Bearing Witness With Fairness

(يا أيُّها الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوّامِينَ للَّهِ‏ِ شُهَداءَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَى‏ ألَّا تَعْدِلُوا اعدِلُوا هُوَ أقْرَبُ لِلتَّقوَى‏ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ).1

“O you who have faith! Be maintainers of justice as witnesses for the sake of Allah, and ill feeling towards a people should never lead you to be unfair. Be fair; that is nearer to Godwariness, and be wary of Allah. Allah is indeed well aware of what you do.”2

1060. The Aspects of Doubt

3357.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : الشَّكُّ على‏ أربَعِ شُعَبٍ : على التَّمارِي ، والهَولِ ، والتَّرَدُّدِ ، والاستِسلامِ ، فَمَن جَعَلَ المِراءَ دَيدَناً لَم يُصبِحْ لَيلُهُ ، ومَن هالَهُ ما بَينَ يَدَيهَ نَكَصَ على‏ عَقِبَيهِ ، ومَن تَرَدَّدَ في الرَّيبِ وَطِئَتهُ سَنابِكُ الشَّياطينِ ، ومَنِ استَسلَمَ لِهَلَكَةِ الدُّنيا والآخِرَةِ هَلَكَ فيهِما .1

3357.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘There are four aspects to doubt: unreasonable debating [born out of a desire to doubt everything], fear, wavering and undue submission. The one who always resorts to unreasonable debating never again sees the light after darkness. The one who is afraid of what befalls him [doubting as a result] is always turning back on his heels. The one who wavers between his misgivings is trampled by Satan underfoot, and the one who succumbs to the perils of this world and the next is destroyed in them both.’2
