وقال عليه السلام وقد أُتي بجانٍ ومعه غوغاءُ:
An offender was brought before Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, and there was a crowd of people with the man, so Amir al-mu'minin remarked:
لاَ مَرْحَباً بِوُجُوهٍ
Woe to the faces
لاَ تُرى
who are seen
إِلاَّ عِنْدَ كُلِّ سَوْأَةٍ.
only on foul occasions.
