After resuming the land grants made by `Uthman ibn `Affan, he said:

Pearl of Wisdom

Verily when Allah, Blessed and most High, wishes to requite his servant with evil [as a result of his deeds], He will take him to account for them in front of everyone, and will reduce him to tears [on account of the proofs against him], and will give him his book in his left hand, and this is the purport of Allah's verse: But as for him who is given his record from behind his back, he will pray for annihilation, and he will enter the Blaze. Indeed he used to be joyful among his folk.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]

al-Zuhd li al-Husayn b. Sa'id, p. 92, no. 246

After resuming the land grants made by `Uthman ibn `Affan, he said:

Sermon 15 After resuming the land grants made by `Uthman ibn `Affan, he said:

By Allah, even if I had found that by such money women have been married or slave-maids have been purchased I would have resumed it because there is wide scope in dispensation of justice, and he who finds it hard to act justly should find it harder to deal with injustice.
