1ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): الاستِشارةُ عَينُ الهِدايَةِ ، وقد خاطَرَ مَنِ استَغنى بِرَأيِهِ. |
| 1– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Seeking to consult someone [in one’s affairs] is guidance in itself, and the one who suffices himself with his own opinion endangers himself.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Saying 211] |
|
2ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا ظَهِيرَ كالمُشاوَرَةِ. |
| 2– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘There is no better support than good counsel.’[Ibid. no. 54] |
|
3ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّما حُضَّ على المُشاوَرَةِ لأنّ رَأيَ المُشيرِ صِرْفٌ ، ورَأيَ المُستَشِيرِ مَشُوبٌ بالهَوى. |
| 3– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Seeking counsel has been highly emphasised because the opinion of the counselor is unadulterated whereas the opinion of the one seeking counsel is polluted with his own whims.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 3908] |
