Selections from The Sayings and Preaching of Amir al-Muminin Ali ibn Abi Talib (Peace Be Upon Him) Including His Replies to Questions and Maxims Expressed for Various Purposes.Translated by Sayyid Ali Reza
وَقَالَ (عليه السلام):
Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:
يَوْمُ الْعَدْلِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِ أَشَدُّ مِنْ يَومِ الْجَوْرِ عَلَى الْمَظْلُومِ!
The day of justice will be severer on the oppressor than the day of oppression on the oppressed.
