أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، ثَنَا عَفَّانُ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ قَالَ:
سَمِعَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ قَوْمًا يَقُولُونَ: لَا حُكْمَ إِلَّا لِلهِ. قَالَ: نَعَمْ. لَا حُكْمَ إِلَّا لِلهِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا بُدَّ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ أَمِيرٍ بَرٍّ أَوْ فَاجِرٍ، يَعْمَلُ فِيهِ الْمُؤْمِنُ، وَيَسْتَمْتِعُ فِيهِ الْكَافِرُ، وَيُبَلِّغُ اللهُ فِيهَا الْأَجَلَ

ʿAlī (may God be pleased with him) heard some people saying: "There is no judgment but God's." He said: "Yes, there is no judgment but God's, but people must have a ruler, righteous or wicked; under his rule the believer does his deeds, the disbeliever enjoys himself, and God brings everyone to the end of his appointed term."
