hadith 236
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong will only affect a believer or an ignorant person who learns from these acts, but it will not affect a person who is armed to the teeth.”
وعن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
إنما يؤمر بالمعروف وينهى عن المنكر مؤمن فيتعظ أو جاهل فيتعلم، فأما صاحب سوط أو سيف فلا.
