Oppression's consequences outweigh its temporary dominance
Nahj al-Balāgha|Volume 1|Book 3|Chapter 241
٢٤١. وَقَالَ (عليه السلام): يَوْمُ الْمَظْلُومِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِ أَشدُّ مِنْ يَوْمِ الظَّالِمِ عَلَى الْمَظْلُومِ.
241. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: The day of the oppressed over the oppressor will be severer than the day of the oppressor over the oppressed. [1]
