"عَنْ زَاذَانَ عَنْ عَلِىٍّ: أَنَّهُ كانَ يَمْشِى فِي الأَسْوَاقِ وَحْدَهُ وَهُوَ وَالٍ يُرْشِدُ الضَّالَ، وَيُنْشِدُ الضَّالَ () وَيُعِينُ الضَّعِيفَ، وَيَمُرُّ بِالبَيَّاعِ وَالْبَقَّالِ فَيَفْتَحُ عَلَيْهِ القُرآنَ، وَيَقْرَأُ: {تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا}، وَيَقُولُ: نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِى أَهْلِ العَدْلِ وَالتَّواضُعِ مِنَ الْوُلَاةِ، وَأَهْلُ الْقُدرَةِ مِنْ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ".

"From Zadhan, from Ali: that he used to walk alone in the markets while he was governor, guiding the lost, helping the one who had lost something, aiding the weak. He would pass by the seller and the grocer and recite the Quran to him, reciting: {That is the Final Abode; We make it for those who do not desire haughtiness on earth or corruption}. He would say: \"This verse was revealed concerning the people of justice and humility among the rulers, and the powerful among the rest of the people.\""
