Chapter 7 - On Being Bossy

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Whoever tries to attract the people to himself while there is someone who is more knowledgeable than himself is a wrong-doer and has transgressed beyond his limits.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “You should avoid bosses who force themselves on the people. I swear by God that anyone whose shoes were heard hitting the ground from behind him got destroyed and ruined other people too.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “O' Young people! Fear God and do not follow bossy people. Leave them to themselves until they realize their sins. Do not adopt anyone to be your boss instead of God.”
