Lesson seventy :Three basic social principles

Imam Sadegh( A. S. )says:

النّاسُ سَوَاءٌ كَأَسْنانِ الْمِشْطِ وَ الْمَرْءُ كَثِيرٌ بِأَخِيْهِ وَ لا خَيْرَ فِى صُحْبَةِ مَنْ لَمْ يَرَ لَكَ مِثْلَ الَّذِى يَرَى لِنَفْسِهِ‌

Translation

People are equal( in social rights )with each other like the teeth of a comb! An individual becomes a great society together with his) religious (brothers.

And it is not right to associate with one who does not wish for you whatever he wishes for himself..
