٤٠٥٢٩ - حدثنا وكيع عن شريك عن أبي (مهل) (١) قال: قلت لأبي جعفر: إن السلطان يولى العمل، قال: لا تلين لهم شيئا، وإن وليت فاتق اللَّه وأد الأمانة.
It is narrated from Abu Mahal who says: I said to Abu Ja'far, "Is a king appointed as a governor over work?" He replied, "Do not become a governor over anything for them. If you are appointed as a governor, then fear Allah and fulfill the trust."
