Pearl of Wisdom

'There are three kinds of people who will be the closest to Allah on the Day of Resurrection, until all are judged. They are: a person whose power when he is angered does not allow him to wrong those he has power over; a person who walks between two people and is not biased to either one of them, not even by the width of a small hair; and the person who speaks the truth, whether it be for or against him.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
al-Khisal, p. 81, no. 5
