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

Pearl of Wisdom

when asked by Hasan b. Mahbub, 'Can a believer be miserly?', replied, 'Yes.' [He said] I asked, 'And can he be cowardly?' The Imam replied, 'Yes.' I asked, 'Can he be a liar?' The Imam said, 'No, and nor can he be a traitor.' He then said, 'A believer can be predisposed by nature for everything except treachery and Iying.'

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

Ibid. v. 75, p. 172, no. 11

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.
