Some sayings of Hazrat Imam: "One who assents or subscribes 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." "The sin which makes you sad and repentant is more liked by Allah than the good deed which turns you arrogant."
