remedy
Do not prescribe any remedy for an arrogant ruler, for it it benefits him, he will fail to show gratitude to you, and if it harms him he will accuse you (Imam Al-Husayn (AS) Bihar al-Anwar, V. 62, p. 140, #2, narrated in scale of wisdom, h. #2277)
the scale of wisdom
This book is a collection of Hadith carefully translated into English, from what are considered to be Shi’a sources. The compendium is bi-lingual (English – Arabic) – each hadith has both the original Arabic and the English versions next to each other – especially useful for those who have some basic understanding of Arabic to appreciate the depth of these narrations. In England you may order the book directly from The Islamic College, or click on the image below to order from Amazon.
