Imam Ali (AS) said regarding the arbitration, ‘These [people] say, ‘There is no need for government! Indeed there has to be a ruler under whose rule the believer toils and the wicked seeks to make merry.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في قَضيّةِ التَّحْكِيم ـ : إنَّ هؤلاءِ يَقُولُونَ : لاَ إمْرَةَ ! وَلاَبُدَّ مِنْ أمِيرٍ يَعْمَلُ فِي إمْرَتِهِ المُؤْمِنُ ، وَيَسْتَمْتِعُ الفَاجِرُ.
