الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وقال عليه السلام لزياد بن أبيه وقد استخلفَهُ لعبد الله بن العباس على فارس وأَعمالها، في كلامٍ طويلٍ كان بينهما، نهاه فيه عن تقدم الخَراج : اسْتَعْمِلِ الْعَدْلَ، وَاحْذَرِ الْعَسْفَ والْحَيْفَ فَإِنَّ الْعَسْفَ يَعُودُ بِالْجَلاَءِ، وَالْحَيْفَ يَدْعُو إِلَى السَّيْفِ

Imam Ali (as):

When Imam Ali, peace be upon him, put Ziyad ibn Abih in place of Abdullah ibn Abbas over Fars (in Persia) and its revenues, he had a long conversation with him in which he prohibited him from collecting the land tax before it came due. Therein, he said: Act on justice and keep aloof from violence and injustice because violence will lead them to forsake their abodes while injustice will prompt them to take up arms.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

لاَ تَصْلُحُ اَلْإِمَامَةُ إِلاَّ لِرَجُلٍ فِيهِ ثَلاَثُ خِصَالٍ وَرَعٌ يَحْجُزُهُ عَنْ مَعَاصِي اَللَّهِ وَ حِلْمٌ يَمْلِكُ بِهِ غَضَبَهُ وَ حُسْنُ اَلْوِلاَيَةِ عَلَى مَنْ يَلِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَهُمْ كَالْوَالِدِ اَلرَّحِيمِ. وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَكُونَ لِلرَّعِيَّةِ كَالْأَبِ اَلرَّحِيمِ .

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

None is worthy of leadership except for a man who has three characteristics: piety that prevents him from disobeying Allah, clemency with which he controls his anger, and maintaining excellent guardianship towards his people, such that he treats them like a compassionate father.

فيما ناجى اللّهُ تعالى بهِ موسى عليه السلام : ......... لا تَغبِطَنَّ أحدا بِرِضَى الناسِ عَنهُ حتّى تَعلَمَ أنَّ اللّهَ راضٍ عَنهُ ، و لا تَغبِطَنَّ مَخلوقا بطاعَةِ الناسِ لَهُ فإنّ طاعةَ الناسِ لَهُ و اتِّباعَهُم إيّاهُ على غيرِ الحقِّ هَلاكٌ لَهُ و لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

In an intimate conversation that Allah had with Prophet Moses (AS), He said: "Do not envy anyone merely because people are pleased with him until you know that Allah is also pleased with him, and do not envy anyone for being obeyed by people, because people’s obedience to him and their adherence to him in falsehood is a source of destruction for him and for those adhering to him.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

في تَحاكُمِ رَجلَينِ مِن أصحابِهِ إلَى الطاغوتِ و بينَهُما مُنازَعَةٌ في دَينٍ أو مِيراثٍ ـ : مَن تَحاكَمَ إلَى الطاغوتِ فَحُكِمَ لَهُ فإنّما يَأخُذُ سُحتا و إن كانَ حَقُّهُ ثابِتا لَهُ ، لأنّهُ أخَذَ بحُكمِ الطاغوتِ ، و قد أمَرَ اللّهُ أن يَكفُرَ بهِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Imam al-Sadiq (as), with regard to two of his companions who went to be judged before a tyrant in a dispute they had about a loan or inheritance, said, 'Whoever goes to be judged before a tyrant and he judges in favour of one of them, whatever he is compensated is unlawful, even if it was rightfully his, because he took it by judgment of a tyrant when Allah has ordered him to reject the tyrant.'
