Hawzah News Agency – The commander of the faithful, Imam Ali peace be upon him says:

أحمَقُ النّاسِ مَن يَمْنَعُ البِرَّ ويَطْلُبُ الشُّكْرَ، ويَفعَلُ الشَّرَّ ويَتَوقّعُ ثَوابَ الخَيرِ.

'The most foolish of people is the one who prevents goodness but expects thanks, and he commits evil and expects the reward of good.'
