الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):
الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام فيما كَتبَ للأشتَرِ لمَّا وَلّاهُ مِصرَ: ثُمّ انظُرْ في امورِ عُمّالِكَ، فاستَعمِلْهُمُ اختِبارا، ولا تُوَلِّهِم مُحاباةً وأثَرَةً؛ فإنَّهُما جِماعٌ مِن شُعَبِ الجَورِ والخِيانَةِ. وتَوَخَّ مِنهُم أهلَ التَّجرِبَةِ والحَياءِ مِن أهلِ البُيوتاتِ الصّالِحَةِ، والقَدَمِ في الإسلامِ المُتَقَدِّمَةِ.

Imam Ali (as), in his letter to Malik al-Ashtar when he appointed him governor of Egypt, said, Thereafter, look into the affairs of your executives. Give them appointment after tests and do not appoint them according to partiality or favouritism, because these two things constitute the sources of injustice and unfairness. Select from among them those who are people of experience and modesty, hailing from virtuous houses, having preceded in [embracing] Islam.
