hadith 3598
Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Verily the ruler in the way of Allah safeguards your affairs, so offer him such obedience as is neither blameworthy nor reluctant. By Allah, you must do so else Allah will take away the rule of Islam from you, never to return it to you thereafter until it settles with others.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ في سلطانِ اللّهِ عِصمَةً لأِمرِكُم، فَأعطُوهُ طاعَتَكُم غَيرَ مُلَوَّمَةٍ (مُتَلَوِّمِينَ) ولا مُستَكرَهٍ بها ، واللّهِ لَتَفعَلُنَّ أو لَيَنقُلَنَّ اللّهُ عَنكُم سلطانَ الإسلامِ ، ثُمَّ لا يَنقُلُهُ إلَيكُم أبداً حتّى يَأرِزَ الأمرُ إلى غَيرِكُم .
