الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وسئل عليه السلام أَيّما أَفضل: العدل، أَو الجود؟ فقال: الْعَدْلُ يَضَعُ الاْمُورَ مَوَاضِعَهَا، والْجُودُ يُخْرِجُهَا عَنْ جِهَتِهَا، وَالْعَدْلُ سَائِسٌ عَامٌّ، وَالْجُودُ عَارضٌ خَاصٌّ، فَالْعَدْلُ أَشْرَفُهُمَا وَأَفْضَلُهُمَا

Imam Ali (as):

ʿAlī was asked, “Which is better, justice or generosity?” he replied: Justice puts things in their rightful place, while generosity takes things out of their proper direction. Justice is a universal motivator, while generosity is a particular caretaker. Thus, justice is nobler and better of the two.
