Be careful not to do any injustice to your brothers in faith.

Be careful not to do any injustice to your brothers in faith.”[^11] Imam Ali (AS) has also been reported as saying: “The worst provision for the Day of Resurrection is to do injustice to the servants of Allah.”[^12] The Messenger of Allah (SAW) has been reported as saying: “O son of Adam! Do what is good and give up what is evil! Injustice is of three kinds; first, the injustice which is not forgiven, like associating anything with God.

In this relation, God has said: “Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him.” [^13] Second, the injustice which is forgiven is like the injustice that one does against himself.

Third, it is the injustice which is not forgiven, like the injustice which one does to another one.”[^14] Imam Baqir (AS) has been reported by Abu Hamzah ath-Thumali as saying: “When the demise of Imam Sajjad (a.s.) approached, he drew me to his chest, saying: ‘My son, I advise you with what my father advised me at his death and what his father had advised him.

Then, he said: ‘My son, keep away from injustice to one who has no help but Allah against you.’”[^15] Imam Ali (AS) has been reported as saying: “By Allah, I would rather spend the night in wakefulness on the thorns of as-Sa’dan (a plant having sharp prickles) than to meet Allah and His Messenger on the Day of Judgment as an oppressor against any one or a usurper of anything out of the worldly wealth.

And how can I oppress any one for the sake of a self that hurriedly goes towards its destruction and shall remain under the earth for a long time….By Allah, even if I am given all the seven districts (or continents) with all there is under their skies that I may disobey Allah in extorting a crust of a barley grain from an ant, I would never do.”[^16] Imam Ali (AS) writes the following letter to one of his officers: “Fear Allah and give back to those people their properties.

If you do not do so and Allah grants me power over you, I will excuse myself before Allah about you and strike you with my sword with which I did not strike anyone except that he went to Hell. By Allah, even if Hassan and Hossain had done what you did, I would never be a bit lenient to them.”[^17] In another letter to Uthman ibn Hunayf, Imam Ali (AS) writes: “O ibn Hunayf, I have come to know that a young man from Basra invited you to a feast and you leapt towards it.

Foods of different colors were served for you and big bowels were brought to you.
