And Allah the Exalted has said: «لا يحب الله الجهر بالسوء من القول إلا من ظلم وكان الله سميعا عليما‏» "Allah does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has been wronged, and Allah is Hearing and Knowing." (And the statement of Allah:) «والذين إذا أصابهم البغى هم ينتصرون‏» "And those who, when tyranny strikes them, they defend themselves." Ibrahim said that the Salaf did not like to be humiliated, but when they gained power over (the oppressor), they would forgive him.
