إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوْحَى إِلَى نَبِيٍّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَائِهِ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ جَبَّارٍ مِنَ الْجَبَّارِينَ أَنِ ائْتِ هَذَا الْجَبَّارَ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّنِي لَمْ أَسْتَعْمِلْكَ عَلَى سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ وَ اتِّخَاذِ الْأَمْوَالِ وَ إِنَّمَا اسْتَعْمَلْتُكَ لِتَكُفَّ عَنِّي أَصْوَاتَ الْمَظْلُومِينَ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَدَعْ ظُلَامَتَهُمْ وَ إِنْ كَانُوا كُفَّاراً .


Translation

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Revealed upon a Prophet<sup>as</sup> from His<sup>azwj</sup> Prophets<sup>as</sup> in a kingdom of a tyrant from the tyrants: “Go to this tyrant, so say to him, ‘I<sup>azwj</sup> did not Utilise you upon shedding the blood and seizing the wealth, and rather I<sup>azwj</sup> Utilised you to restrain from Me<sup>azwj</sup> the voices of the oppressed, for I<sup>azwj</sup> will not Leave their injustices (Unpunished), and even though they (the oppressed) may be disbelievers’.
