Imam Sadiq (AS) has been reported as saying: “Justice is sweeter than honey is.” In another narration, Imam Sadiq (AS) says: “Justice is more wholesome than the water given to a thirsty person.

How extensive justice is even if a little of it is administered in an affair.”[^10] Imam Sadiq (AS) has also been reported as saying: “Fear Allah and do justice, for you blame those who do not do justice.”[^11] In Ershad al-Gholoob, it is quoted from Mudhaffari in his book of History his saying: “Mansoor, the Abbasid Caliph, went to perform the Hajj in the year 144 AH. He went to the Dar al-Nadwah. One night, he was performing circumambulation when he heard a man saying: ‘O Allah!

I am complaining to you from injustice and corruption in the earth and the gap created between truth and people of truth because of oppression.’ Mansoor listened very carefully, and then called the man, asking him: ‘What did you say?’ The man said: ‘If you grant me safety, I will tell you.’ Mansoor said: ‘you are granted safety.’ The man said: ‘I am complaining from you because God Almighty has entrusted the Muslims’ affairs to you, but you have placed walls, veils, and guards between you and Muslims and have chosen oppressing viziers and companions for yourself, and hence, the Islamic cities are affected with corruption.’ He further said: ‘I made a journey to China whose king had become deaf.

He kept on weeping. His Viziers asked him why he was weeping, and he said: ‘I am weeping because I cannot hear the complaints of an oppressed one. Although I have lost my hearing, I still have my vision.’ The king had asked people who were oppressed to wear red garments to be distinguished from other people. Every day, he would ride an elephant and go among people to see who was oppressed, but he did not see anyone.

He did not believe in God, but he was kind to his people; whereas you believe in God, you are the cousin of the Messenger of Allah (SAW), but your kindness does not cover all Muslims.’ Then, he gave advice to Mansoor in a way that Mansoor began weeping, and then said: ‘I wish I had not been created and had this position.’ Mansoor asked: ‘What is the solution?’ The man said: ‘You should invite the rightly guided scholars.’ Mansoor said: ‘But they are running away from us.’ The man said: ‘They are running away for a certain reason.
