"عَنْ أَبِى البَخْتَرِىَّ قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ المَسْجِدَ فَقَالَ: لَا حُكْمَ إِلَّا لله، ثُمَّ قَالَ آخَرُ: لَا حُكْمَ إلَّا الله فَقَالَ عَلِىٌّ: لَا حُكمَ إِلَّا للهِ، إِنَّ وَعْدَ الله حَقٌّ وَلا يَسْتَخِفَّنَّكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يُوقِنُونَ فَمَا تَدْرُونَ مَا يَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ لَا إِمَارَةَ؟ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! إِنَّهُ لَا يُصْلِحُكُمْ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ بَرٌّ أوْ فَاجِرٌ، قَالُوا: هَذَا الْبَرُّ قَدْ عَرْفَنَا فَمَا بَالُ الفَاجِرِ؟ فَقَالَ: يَعْمَلُ المُؤْمِنُ وَيُمْلَى للْفَاجرِ وَيَبْلُغُ اللهُ الأَجَلَ وَنَأمَنُ سُبُلَكُم وتَقُومُ أسْوَاقُكُم وَيجِئُ فَيْئُكُمْ وَيُجَاهَدُ عَدُوُّكُمْ وَيؤخَذُ للِضَّعِيفِ مِنَ الشَّدِيدِ مِنْكُم".

"On the authority of Abu al-Bakhtari, who said: A man entered the mosque and said: "There is no judgment but for Allah." Then another said: "There is no judgment but for Allah." 'Ali said: "There is no judgment but for Allah. The promise of Allah is true, and let not those who do not have certainty make you light-hearted. Do you not know what these people are saying? 'There is no leadership!' O people! Only a ruler, whether righteous or wicked, will set you right." They said: "We know the righteous one, but what of the wicked?" He said: "The believer works, and the wicked is given respite, and Allah brings the term to its end. Through him our roads are made safe, our markets are established, the spoils are collected, your enemy is fought, and the weak are taken back from the strong among you."
