Hadith 352
۞
4. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Thabit Mawla Ale Hariz from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“To suppress one’s anger in the face of the enemy, the ruling party’s government, for protection ( Taqiyah ), is a cutting edge for those who adopt it. It is to avoid being exposed to suffering in this world and to the animosity of the ruling party in their government. Opposition to such ruling parties without maintaining protective ( Taqiyah ) measures is ignoring the commands of Allah. Maintain a graceful position toward people; it will grow with them in your favor. Do not deal with them as your enemies; otherwise, you make them impose burdens on you and humiliate you.”
4ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ مَوْلَى آلِ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
كَظْمُ الْغَيْظِ عَنِ الْعَدُوِّ فِي دَوْلاتِهِمْ تَقِيَّةً حَزْمٌ لِمَنْ أَخَذَ بِهِ وَتَحَرُّزٌ مِنَ التَّعَرُّضِ لِلْبَلاءِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَمُعَانَدَةُ الأعْدَاءِ فِي دَوْلاتِهِمْ وَمُمَاظَّتُهُمْ فِي غَيْرِ تَقِيَّةٍ تَرْكُ أَمْرِ الله فَجَامِلُوا النَّاسَ يَسْمَنْ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ عِنْدَهُمْ وَلا تُعَادُوهُمْ فَتَحْمِلُوهُمْ عَلَى رِقَابِكُمْ فَتَذِلُّوا.
