قَالَ:
وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ: " اتَّقُوا السُّلْطَانَ, اتَّقُوا شُرَطِيهِمْ, اتَّقُوا مُسَلَّحِيهِمْ, اتَّقُوا عَرِّيفَهُمْ, فَإِنَّهُمْ مَصْرَعٌ لَهُمْ " قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: " يَغْضَبُ الْحَارِسُ فَيَغْضَبُ الْمُسَلَّحِيُّ, فَيَغْضَبُ الْأَمِيرُ فَيَغْضَبُ الْخَلِيفَةُ مَتَى يَقْوَى بِهِمْ "
