٤٠٠٤٢ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن إدريس عن إسماعيل عن قيس (عن) (١) جرير قال: قال ذو عمرو: يا جرير! إن بك علي كرامة وإني مخبرك خبرا: (إنكم) (٢) معشر العرب لن تزالوا بخير ما كنتم إذا هلك أمير تأمرتم في آخر، فإذا كانت بالسيف غضبتم غضب الملوك ورضيتم رضا الملوك (٣).
It is narrated from Hazrat Jarir that he said: Hazrat Dhu Amr said, "O Jarir, you have superiority over me, and I am going to give you some news. O group of Arabs! You will continue to remain upon goodness as long as you remain such that when one leader passes away, you appoint another as leader. When leadership is obtained by the sword, then you will become angry like kings become angry, and you will be pleased like kings become pleased."
