Punishment of injustice and oppression
Thawāb al-Aʿmāl wa ʿiqāb al-Aʿmāl|Volume 1|Book 3|Chapter 118
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوْحَی إِلَی نَبِیٍّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِیَاءِ فِی مَمْلَکَهِ جَبَّارٍ مِنَ الْجَبَابِرَهِ أَنِ ائْتِ هَذَا الْجَبَّارَ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنِّی لَمْ أَسْتَعْمِلْکَ عَلَی سَفْکِ الدِّمَاءِ وَ اتِّخَاذِ الْأَمْوَالِ وَ إِنَّمَا أَسْتَعْمِلُکَ لِتَکُفَّ عَنِّی أَصْوَاتَ الْمَظْلُومِینَ فَإِنِّی لَنْ أَدَعَ ظُلَامَتَهُمْ وَ إِنْ کَانُوا کُفَّاراً.
4. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Abdillah b. Ja’far from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Ishaq b. Ammar from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام relates that the ruler of the time of a prophet was unjust. The Almighty Allah revealed on His prophet, “Go and tell your ruler that he is not being made the ruler to oppress people. He is made the ruler to stop injustice to the people. Surely I am not going to forgive the injustice done to the subjects even if they are disbelievers.”
