Imam Baqir (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet
“The people who support the one who seeks the people's pleasure in God's Anger will blame him. But whoever prefers God's obedience over people's anger will be protected by God against the jealousy of any jealous ones, and the oppression of any oppressors. God will be his assistant and supporter.”
عن الباقر (عليه السلام) قال
رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من طلب مرضاة الناس بما يسخط الله كان حامده من الناس ذاما، ومن آثر طاعة الله بما يغضب الناس كفاه الله عداوة كل عدو وحسد كل حاسد وبغي كل باغ وكان الله له ناصرا و ظهيرا.
