1201. THE WRONGDOER’S REGRET

(وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلَى‏ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا) .1

“A day when the wrongdoer will bite his hands, saying, ‘I wish I had followed the Apostle’s way!”2

3889.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : الظُّلمُ نَدامَةٌ .3

3889.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Wrongdoing results in regret.’4

3890.الإمامُ عليُّ عليه السلام : يَومُ العَدلِ على الظّالِمِ أشَدُّ مِن يَومِ الجَورِ على المَظلُومِ .5

3890.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The day that justice is brought to the wrongdoer is much more severe than the day oppression is done unto the oppressed.’6

3891.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام : ما يَأخُذُ المَظلومُ مِن دِينِ الظَّالِمِ أكثَرُ ممّا يَأخُذُ الظَّالِمُ مِن دُنيا المَظلومِ .7

3891.Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘The wronged one profits much more from his oppressor’s Hereafter [i.e. his account of deeds] than the oppressor profits from the world [i.e. the wealth or honour] of the one he is wronging.’8
