Caution Against Aiding the Wrongdoer

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘On the Day of Resurrection, a caller will call out, ‘Where are the wrongdoers and their helpers? Whoever prepared the inkwell for them, or tied their purse for them, or supplied them with a pen, gather them all together with them.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The perpetrator of the wrong act, his accomplice and the one who approves of it - all three are equally to blame for the wrong.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘If it was not for the fact that the Bani Umayya found people to scribe for them, to shade them, to fight for them, and to attend their gatherings, they would never have been able to snatch away our rights [by themselves].

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) with respect to Allahs verse in the Quran: “And do not incline toward the wrongdoers, lest the Fire should touch you, and you will not have any friend besides Allah, then you will not be helped”, said, ‘This refers to the man who attends to an unjust ruler, wishing his rule to continue in order that he may put his hand in his purse and give him thereof.
