۞
O people, throw away the reins of the horses who carry on their backs the weight of your hands (i.e. sins), do not cut away from your chief (Imām) otherwise you will blame yourself for your own doings. Do not jump in the fire which is in flames in front of you; keep away from its courses and leave the middle way for it. Because, by my life, the believer will die in its flames, and others will remain safe in it.
أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَلْقُوا هذِهِ الاْزِمَّةَ الَّتِي تَحْمِلُ ظُهُورُهَا الاَثْقَالَ مِنْ أيْدِيكُمْ، وَلاَ تَصَدَّعُوا عَلَى سُلْطَانِكُمْ فَتَذُمُّوا غِبَّ فِعَالِكُمْ، وَلاَ تَقْتَحِمُوا مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ فَوْرِ نَارِ الْفِتْنَةِ، وأَمِيطُوا عَنْ سَنَنِهَا، وَخَلُّو قَصْدَ السَّبِيلِ لَهَا، فَقدْ لَعَمْرِي يَهْلِكُ فِي لَهَبِهَا الْمُؤْمِنُ، وَيَسْلَمُ فِيهَا غَيْرُ الْمُسْلِمِ.
