Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘It is the duty of an Imam to rule in accordance with what Allah has revealed, and that he delivers what he has been entrusted with. If he does that, then it is the duty of the people to listen to him and to obey him and to hearken [to his call] when they are called.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): حَقٌّ على الإمامِ أنْ يَحْكُمَ بما أنْزَلَ اللّهُ وأنْ يُؤدّيَ الأمانةَ، فإذا فَعَلَ فَحَقٌّ علَى النّاسِ أنْ يَسْمَعوا لَهُ وأنْ يُطيعوا وأنْ يُجيبوا إذا دُعوا .
