​The Truth

Fear of people must never prevent any man from telling the truth when he knows it

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  أتْقى‏ النّاسِ مَن قالَ الحقَّ فيما لَهُ وعَلَيهِ . الأمالي للصدوق : 72 / 41 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'The most Godwary of people is he who speaks the truth, be it for or against him.' Amali al-Saduq, p. 27, no. 4

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  ألَا لا يَمْنَعَنَّ رجُلاً مَهابَةُ النّاسِ أنْ يَتكَلَّم بالحقِّ إذا عَلِمَهُ . ألَا إنّ أفضَلَ الجِهادِ كَلِمَةُ حقٍّ عندَ سُلطانٍ جائرٍ . كنز العمّال : 43588 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Lo! Fear of people must never prevent any man from telling the truth when he knows it; truly the best jihad is a true word spoken before an unjust ruler.' Kanz al-Ummal, no. 43588

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  اقْبَلِ الحَقَّ مِمَّن أتاكَ بهِ - صَغيرٌ أو كَبيرٌ - وإن كانَ بَغيضاً ، وارْدُدِ الباطِلَ على‏ مَن جاءَ بهِ مِن صَغيرٍ أو كَبيرٍ وإنْ كانَ حَبيباً . كنز العمّال : 43152 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Accept the truth from anyone who comes to you with it - be he lowly or noble, even if he himself is detestable to you. And reject falsehood from anyone who comes to you with it - be he lowly or noble, even if he is beloved to you.' Kanz al-Ummal, no. 43152

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  إنّ حُقوقَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ ثَناؤُه أعْظَمُ مِن أنْ يَقومَ بِها العِبادُ ، وإنّ نِعَمَ اللَّهِ أكْثَرُ مِن أنْ يُحْصيَها العِبادُ ، ولكنْ أمْسُوا وأصْبِحوا تائِبينَ . مكارم الأخلاق : 2 / 365 / 2661 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Truly the rights of Allah, exalted be His praise, are too great to be fulfilled by His servants, and verily the bounties of Allah are too great to be estimated by the servants; but [the least they can do is to] repent to Him morning and night.' Makarim al-Akhlaq, v. 2, p. 365, no. 2661
