hadith 9344
Imam Ali (AS) said, When a king builds his kingdom on the foundations of justice and sustains it on the pillars of reason, Allah helps his friends and forsakes his enemies.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إذا بَنىَ المَلِكُ (مُلْكُهُ) عَلى قَواعِدِ العَدْلِ وَ دَعَمَ بِدَعائِمِ العَقْلِ نَصَرَهُ اللّهُ مُوالِيَهُ وَ خَذَلَ مُعادِيَهُ

hadith 9404
Imam Ali (AS) said, The most intelligent of kings is he who governs himself for the people in a way that will remove any proof against him and governs the people in a way that affirms his proof against them.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : أعْقَلُ المُلُوكِ مَنْ ساسَ نَفْسَهُ لِلرَّعِيَّةِ بِما يَسْقُطُ عَنْهُ حُجَّتُها وَ ساسَ الرَّعِيَّةَ بِما تَثْبُتُ بِهِ حُجَّتُهُ عَلَيْها
