سُئِلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ فَقَالَ الْعَصَبِيَّةُ الَّتِي يَأْثَمُ عَلَيْهَا صَاحِبُهَا أَنْ يَرَى الرَّجُلُ شِرَارَ قَوْمِهِ خَيْراً مِنْ خِيَارِ قَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ وَ لَيْسَ مِنَ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يُحِبُّ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ وَ لَكِنْ مِنَ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يُعِينَ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى الظُّلْمِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qanasy, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Minqary, from Abdul Razzaq, from Moamar, from Al Zuhry who said, ‘Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> was asked about the prejudice, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The prejudice upon which its doer would be sinning is that he sees the evil man of his people as better than the good ones of other people, and it is not from the prejudice if he were to love the man of his people, but from the prejudice is that he assists his people upon the injustice’.
