Analysis of Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 09
Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)
Whoever slays a bad fellow saves mankind from a calamity and him from the wrath of God.
Condonation is laudable but nevertheless
Apply no salve to the wound of an oppressor of the people.
He who had mercy upon a serpent
Knew not that it was an injury to the sons of Adam.
