Imam Ali (AS) said, 'You know full well that he who is in charge of honour, people's lives, war booty, legal commandments and the leadership of the Muslims must not be a miser… nor should he accept bribes whilst governing for he would forfeit their rights, and base his rulings upon them [the bribes] rather than proper judgment.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): وقد عَلِمتُم أنَّهُ لا يَنبَغِي أن يكونَ الوالِي على الفُرُوجِ والدِّماءِ والمَغانِمِ والأحكامِ وإمامَةِ المسلمينَ البَخِيلُ ... ولا المُرتَشِي في الحُكمِ فَيَذهَبَ بالحُقوقِ، ويَقِفَ بِها دُونَ المَقاطِعِ.
