فَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَسَادِ...
فَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَسَادِ، وَ يُقِيمُ فِيهِمُ الْحُدُودَ وَ الْأَحْكَامَ وَ مِنْهَا أَنَّا لَا نَجِدُ فِرْقَةً مِنَ الْفِرَقِ وَ لَا مِلَّةً مِنَ الْمِلَلِ بَقُوا وَ عَاشُوا الّا بِقَيِّمٍ وَ رَئِيسٍ لِمَا لَا بُدَّ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ فِي امْرِ الدِّينِ، So He -azwj Made upon them in what would prevent them from the corruption and establish the legal penalties among them, and the regulations, and from these we cannot find a group from (all) the groups, nor a nation from the nations remaining and living except by a caretaker and a head (president).
It is inevitable for them from it in the matter of the Religion. فَلَمْ يَجُزْ فِي حُكْمِ الْحَكِيمِ أَنْ يَتْرُكَ الْخَلْقَ مِمَّا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ وَ لَا قِوَامَ إِلَّا بِهِ، فَيُقَاتِلُونَ فِيهِ عَدُوَّهُمْ وَ يُقَسِّمُونَ بِهِ فَيْئَهُمْ، وَ يُقِيمُ لَهُمْ جُمُعَتَهُمْ وَ جَمَاعَتَهُمْ، وَ يَمْنَعُ ظَالِمَهُمْ مِنْ مَظْلُومِهِمْ.
So it is not allowed in a Judgment of the Judge that He -azwj would leave the people from what He -azwj Knows that it is a must for them from it, and they would not be straight except by it. So they would be fighting their enemies in it, and they would be distributing their war booties by it, and he -asws would establish their gathering and their groups for them, and he -asws would prevent their unjust ones from oppressing them.
وَ مِنْهَا أَنَّهُ لَوْ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ إِمَاماً قَيِّماً أَمِيناً حَافِظاً مُسْتَوْدَعاً لَدَرَسَتِ الْمِلَّةُ وَ ذَهَبَ الدِّينُ وَ غُيِّرَتِ السُّنَّةُ وَ الْأَحْكَامُ، وَ لَزَادَ فِيهِ الْمُبْتَدِعُونَ وَ نَقَصَ مِنْهُ الْمُلْحِدُونَ، وَ شَبَّهُوا عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ And from it is that if He -azwj had not Made an Imam -asws to be for them as a caretaker, a securer, a protector, a repository of the classes of the nation, the Religion would vanish, and the Sunnah and the ordinances would be changed, and there would be an increase in it of the innovators, and the atheists would reduce from it, and they would be casting doubt upon the Muslims.
لِأَنَّا قَدْ وَجَدْنَا الْخَلْقَ مَنْقُوصِينَ مُحْتَاجِينَ غَيْرَ كَامِلِينَ، مَعَ اخْتِلَافِهِمْ وَ اخْتِلَافِ أَهْوَائِهِمْ وَ تَشَتُّتِ أَنْحَائِهِمْ، فَلَوْ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ قَيِّماً حَافِظاً لَمَا جَاءَ بِهِ الرَّسُولُ لَفَسَدُوا عَلَى نَحْوِ مَا بَيَّنَّا وَ غُيِّرَتِ الشَّرَائِعُ وَ السُّنَنُ وَ الْأَحْكَامُ وَ الْإِيمَانُ وَ كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَسَادُ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ.
