Punishment of injustice and oppression

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَیَکُونُ مَظْلُوماً فَلَا یَزَالُ یَدْعُو حَتَّی یَکُونَ ظَالِماً.
13. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام said, “Sometimes a person is a victim of oppression and he curses till the time he himself becomes the oppressor.”
