Hold yourselves accountable before you are held accountable.
Do not be an arrogant scholar, for scholarship cannot subsist with arrogance.
Do not be misled by a person's prayers and fasting. [Instead] look [at their] sincerity and wisdom.
Do not depend upon the morality of a person until you have seen him behave while in anger.
He who sleeps without offering the night prayer, may he never enjoy a sound sleep.
I will be harsh and stern against the aggressor, but I will be a pillar of strength for the weak.I will not calm down until I will put one cheek of a tyrant on the ground and the other under my feet, and for the poor and weak, I will put my cheek on the ground.
