Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Verily good and evil can only be known through people, so if you want to know good then do good and you will know its people, and if you want to know evil then commit evil and you will know its people.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنّ الخَيرَ والشّرَّ لا يُعْرَفانِ إلّا بالنّاسِ، فإذا أرَدتَ أنْ تَعرِفَ الخَيرَ فَاعْمَلِ الخَيرَ تَعرِفْ أهلَهُ ، و إذا أرَدتَ أنْ تَعرِفَ الشَّرَّ فاعْمَلِ الشَّرَّ تَعرِفْ أهلَهُ.
