110 - عِلَّةُ الاستِبدادِ عَلى أهلِ البَيتِ عليهم السلام
110. The Reason For The Oppression Against The Household (AS)
341.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : أمّا الاسْتِبدادُ علَينا بهذا المَقامِ - ونحنُ الأعْلَونَ نَسَباً والأشَدُّونَ برسولِاللَّه صلى اللَّه عليه وآله نَوْطاً - فإنّها كانتْ أثَرةً ، شَحَّتْ علَيها نفوسُ قومٍ وسَخَتْ عنها نفوسُ آخَرِينَ ، والحَكَمُ اللَّهُ .1
341.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'As regards the oppression against us in this matter - in spite of being the foremost in descent and bearing the strongest relationship to the Messenger of Allah (SAWA) - it [caliphate] was tempting. The hearts of some people coveted it [the leadership] whereas the hearts of others did not care for it. And the Arbiter is Allah.' 2
