شَيْءٍ لَمْ يُوَافِقْ رَأْيَهُ: لَكَ أَنْ تُشِيرَ عَلَيَّ وأَرَى، فَإِنْ عَصَيْتُكَ فَأَطِعْنِي.
Translation
321. ‘Abdullāh ibn al-‘Abbās once advised Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, against his views, so he said: You have only to advise me but then I have to see (what to do); and if I act against your advice you have to follow me. [1]
