1286. HE WHO CONTENTS HIMSELF WITH A PEOPLE’S (WRONG) ACTION

4201.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : الرّاضي بِفِعلِ قومٍ كالدّاخِلِ فيهِ مَعَهُم ، وعَلى‏ كُلِّ داخِلٍ في باطِلٍ إثمانِ : إثمُ العَمَلِ بِهِ ، وإثمُ الرِّضا بِهِ .1

4201.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The one who contents himself with the wrong action of a group of people is as one who plunges into it with them, and every person who plunges into wrongdoing is guilty of two sins: the sin of having committed the wrong and the sin of being content with it.’2

4203.الإمامُ الجوادُ عليه السلام : مَن شَهِدَ أمراً فكَرِهَهُ كانَ كمَن غابَ عَنهُ ، ومَن غابَ عَن أمرٍ فرَضِيَهُ كانَ كمَن شَهِدَهُ .5
