He -azwj Said: So the roots of the people were cut off, those who were unjust, and the Praise is for Allah Lord of the worlds [6:45] ’’. [13] ثواب الأعمال أَبِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَطَّارِ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي نَهْشَلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ عَذَرَ ظَالِماً بِظُلْمِهِ سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ يَظْلِمُهُ فَإِنْ دَعَا لَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لَهُ وَ لَمْ يَأْجُرْهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى ظُلَامَتِهِ.

[15] Status of the just ruler: وَ إِنَّ السُّلْطَانَ الْعَادِلَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْوَالِدِ الرَّحِيمِ فَأَحِبُّوا لَهُ مَا تُحِبُّونَ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَ اكْرَهُوا لَهُ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ. And the just ruler is at the status of the merciful father, therefore love for him what you are loving for yourself and dislike for him what you are disliking for yourselves ’’ (an extract).
