كَظْمُ الْغَيْظِ عَنِ الْعَدُوِّ فِي دَوْلَاتِهِمْ تَقِيَّةً حَزْمٌ لِمَنْ أَخَذَ بِهِ وَ تَحَرُّزٌ مِنَ التَّعَرُّضِ لِلْبَلَاءِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ مُعَانَدَةُ الْأَعْدَاءِ فِي دَوْلَاتِهِمْ وَ مُمَاظَّتُهُمْ فِي غَيْرِ تَقِيَّةٍ تَرْكُ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ فَجَامِلُوا النَّاسَ يَسْمَنْ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ عِنْدَهُمْ وَ لَا تُعَادُوهُمْ فَتَحْمِلُوهُمْ عَلَى رِقَابِكُمْ فَتَذِلُّوا .
Translation
From him, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Sabit, a slave of the family of Hareyz, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Supressing the anger from the enemies in their government by dissimulation is prudence for the one who takes by it, and is a protection from the exposure to the affliction in the world and the animosity of the enemies in their government, and opposition to them in their government without dissimulation is to neglect the Command of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. Therefore, pay compliments to the people, that would nourish for you in their presence, and do not make enemies out of them, so they would be riding upon your necks and humiliate you’.
