Pearl of Wisdom

to Fadl b. Yunus said, 'Do good and speak only good, and do not be an opportunist.' I asked, 'What does it mean to be an opportunist?' He said, 'Do not say: I am with the people and I am one of the people.'' The Prophet (SAWA) said, ?O people, there are two paths: the path of good and the path of evil, so the path of evil should not be more loved by you than the path of good.'

Imam Musa ibn Jafar al-Kadhim [as]
Tuhaf al-'Uqul, p. 413
