الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

في عَهدِهِ إلى مالِكٍ الأشترِ: أنصِفِ اللّهَ وأنصِفِ النّاسَ مِن نَفسِكَ ومِن خاصَّةِ أهلِكَ ومَن لكَ فيهِ هَوىً مِن رَعيّتِكَ، فإنَّكَ إلّا تَفعَلْ تَظلِمْ! ...

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (s), in his letter to Malik al-Ashtar said, '...Be just to Allah and do justice towards the people in spite of yourself, and in spite of the close members of your family, and in spite of those of your followers for whom you have a liking, for if you do not do so, you will be oppressive.'
