Hadith.3266 - In the narration of Ahmad ibn Abi Abdillah al-Barqi, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "It is obligatory upon the Imam to imprison the corrupt among the scholars, the ignorant among the physicians, and the bankrupt among those who rent out property." And Imam (as) also said: "Imprisonment by the Imam after the implementation of the legal punishment is oppression."
3266 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ : "يَجِبُ عَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَحْبِسَ اَلْفُسَّاقَ مِنَ اَلْعُلَمَاءِ وَ اَلْجُهَّالَ مِنَ اَلْأَطِبَّاءِ وَ اَلْمَفَالِيسَ مِنَ اَلْأَكْرِيَاءِ" وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "حَبْسُ اَلْإِمَامِ بَعْدَ اَلْحَدِّ ظُلْمٌ".
