One who assents or subsribes to the actions of a group or a party is as good as having committed the deed himself. A man who joins a sinful deed makes himself responsible for two-fold punishments, one for doing the deed and the other for assenting and subscribing to it.
More from Ali ibn Abi Talib
One, who adopts patience, will never be deprived of success though it may take a long time to reach him.
