أَبِی ره قَالَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی الْیَقْطِینِیِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِیدِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَا انْتَصَرَ اللَّهُ مِنْ ظَالِمٍ إِلَّا بِظَالِمٍ وَ ذَلِکَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ کَذلِکَ نُوَلِّی بَعْضَ الظَّالِمِینَ بَعْضاً
16. My father رحمه الله said: from Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. Isa al-Yaqteeni from Ibrahim b. Abdul-Hameed from Ali b. Abi Hamzah from Abi Basir from Abi Ja’far عليه السلام who said: “Allah takes the revenge of an unjust from another unjust person. It is in accordance with the verse: And thus do We make some of the iniquitous to rule upon others on account of what they earned.”
