41ـ مَنْ عَدَلَ فِي البِلادِ نَشَرَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ الرَّحْمَةَ.

41ـ مَنْ عَدَلَ فِي البِلادِ نَشَرَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ الرَّحْمَةَ. One whose deed done in private matches what he does openly and whose actions are consistent with his speech, then he is the one who has fulfilled the trust and whose justice has been established. 42ـ مَنْ طابَقَ سِـرُّهُ عَلانِيَتَهُ، ووافَقَ فِعْلُهُ مَقالَتَهُ فَهُوَ الَّذي أدَّى الأمانَةَ، وتَحَقَّقَتْ عَدالَـتُهُ. Whoever acts justly, Allah fortifies his kingdom. 43ـ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِالعَدْلِ حَصَّنَ اللّهُ مُلْكَهُ.

Take with justice but give with munificence; you will possess two virtues. 44ـ خُذْ بِالعَدْلِ وأعْطِ بِالفَضْلِ تَحُزِ المَنْقَبَتَيْنِ. The policy of justice comprises of three things: judiciousness in leniency, fairness in investigation and moderation in munificence. 45ـ سِياسَةُ العَدْلِ ثَلاثٌ: لينٌ في حَزْم، واسْتِقْصاءٌ في عَدْل، وإفْضالٌ في قَصْد. Two things are such that their reward cannot be weighed: forgiveness and justice. 46ـ شَيْئانِ لايُوزَنُ ثَوابُهُما: العَفْوُ، والعَدْلُ.

The uprightness [and betterment] of the populace is [achieved through] justice. 47ـ صَلاحُ الرَّعِيَّةِ العَدْلُ. You must be just with [both] friend and foe, and moderate in [both] poverty and wealth. 48ـ عَليْكَ بِالعَدْلِ في الصَّديقِ، والعَدُوِّ،وَ القَصْدِ فِي الفَقْرِ وَالغِنى. The pinnacle of justice is for a person to be just with himself. 49ـ غايَةُ العَدْلِ أنْ يَعْدِلَ المَرْءُ في نَفْسِهِ. In justice there is benevolence. 50ـ فِي العَدْلِ الإحْسانُ.

In justice there is betterment of the people. 51ـ فِي العَدْلِ صَلاحُ البَرِيَّةِ. Following the way of Allah and the stability of nations lies in justice 52ـ فِي العَدْلِ الاِقْتِداءُ بِسُنَّةِ اللّهِ وثَباتُ الدُّوَلِ. In justice there is comfort; and one for whom justice is beleaguering, then oppression will be more beleaguering [and difficult] for him. 53ـ فِي العَدْلِ سَعَةٌ، ومَنْ ضاقَ عَلَيْهِ العَدْلُ فَالجَوْرُ عَلَيْهِ أضْيَقُ.

From the exigencies of justice is the forbidding of oppression. 54ـ مِنْ لَوازِمِ العَدْلِ اَلتَّناهي عَنِ الظُّلْمِ. Nothing brings prosperity to the lands like justice. 55ـ ما عُمِرَتِ البُلْدانُ بِمِثْلِ العَدْلِ. Do not let the weak lose hope in your justice. 56ـ لا تُؤْيِسِ الضُّعَفاءَ مِنْ عَدْلِكَ. There is no justice better than returning the right of the oppressed. 57ـ لاعَدْلَ أفْضَلُ مِنْ رَدِّ المَظالِمِ. Justice is life. 58ـ اَلعَدْلُ حَياةٌ. Justice is the best judgment.
