Islamic Character

Impartial decision-making Juadah ibn Hurayrah once came to Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, and asked him what he would do if two men were ever to come before him, one of whom was so fond of him that he would put him before his own self, while the other hated him so much that, given the chance, he would cut his throat. Would Ali decide in favour of the first and against the second? “If the decision were truly in my hands, I should please myself. But it is not. It is in the hands of God.” (KANZ AL-UMMAL)
