Imam al-Hasan (AS) said, 'He who seeks to please Allah at the expense of displeasing people, Allah suffices him in everything including his affairs with people. But the one who seeks to please people at the expense of Allah's displeasure, Allah relegates him to those very people.
الإمامُ الحسينُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مَن طَلَبَ رِضا اللّهِ بِسَخَطِ الناسِ كَفاهُ اللّهُ اُمُورَ الناسِ ، ومَن طَلَبَ رِضا الناسِ بِسَخَطِ اللّهِ، وَكَلَهُ اللّهُ إلى النّاسِ.
