10. Know that injustice is of three kinds: the injustice that is not forgiven, the injustice that is not left [unquestioned], and the injustice that is forgiven without being questioned. As for the injustice that is not forgiven, it is the ascribing of partners to Allah as He, the Most High, says: . As for the injustice that is forgiven, it is the injustice of a person to himself in committing some small sins. And as for the injustice that is not left unquestioned, it is the injustice of the people on one another. In this case the punishment is severe, not [simply] wounding with knives or striking with whips, rather it is a punishment in comparison to which all this seems small.

10 ألا وإنَّ الظُّلْمَ ثَلاثَةٌ: فَظُلْمٌ لايُغْفَرُ، وظُلْمٌ لايُتْرَكُ، وظُلْمٌ مَغْفُورٌ لايُطْلَبُ، فَأمّا الظُّلْمُ الَّذي لايُغْفَرُ، فَالشِّرْكُ باللّهِ لِقَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿إنَّ اللّهَ لايَغْفِرُ أنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ ويَغْفِرُ مادُونَ ذلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشاءُ﴾ وأمَّا الظُّلْمُ الَّذي يُغْفَرُ، فَظُلْمُ المَرْءِ لِنَفْسِهِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ الهَناتِ، وأمَّا الظُّلْمُ الَّذي لايُتْرَكُ، فَظُلْمُ العِبادِ بَعْضِهِمْ بَعْضاً، اَلعِقابُ هُنالِكَ شَديْدٌ لَيْسَ جَرْحاً بِالمُدى، وَلا ضَرْباً بِالسِّياطِ، ولكِنَّهُ ما يُسْتَصْغَرُ ذلِكَ مَعَهُ.
