Speaking about justice but in practice disregarding it

The people who speak about justice a great deal but in their own practice they would disregard it altogether.

Hawzah News Agency - Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabi from abu Sa‘id al-Mukari from abu Basir from abu Ja’far (a.s) who has said the following. “Imam abu Ja‘far (a.s) has said about the words of Allah in the holy Quran,

فَكُبْكِبُوا فِيها هُمْ وَالْغاوُونَ قَالَ هُمْ قَوْمٌ وَصَفُوا عَدْلاً بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ خَالَفُوهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ.

‘The idol worshippers, the idols, the rebellious ones, (26:94) and the army of Satan will all be thrown headlong into hell. (26:95)’ They are the people who speak about justice a great deal but in their own practice they would disregard it altogether.’”

Al-Kāfi, v.1, Book 2, Chapter 15
