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.

مَن جَعَلَ مُلكَهُ خادِما لدِينِهِ انقادَ لَهُ ‏كلُّ سُلطانٍ، مَن جَعَلَ دِينَهُ خادِما لمُلكِهِ طَمِعَ فيهِ كلُّ إنسانٍ.

Imam Ali (as):

Whoever makes his sovereignty subservient to his religion, all rulers will submit to him. And whoever makes his religion subservient to his sovereignty then all people will become greedy for it [i.e. his sovereignty].
