84. By Allah! If I were to spend a sleepless night on the thorns of or be driven shackled in chains as a prisoner, it would be more acceptable to me than meeting Allah and His Prophet as an oppressor over any [of His] servants, or a usurper of any worldly possessions. And how can I oppress for the sake of the body which is fast moving towards destruction and is going to spend a long time [buried] in the earth?

83 واللّهِ لأنْ أبيتَ عَلى حَسَكِ السَّعْدانِ مُسَهَّداً، وأُجَرَّ فِي الأغْلالِ مُصَفَّداً، أحَبُّ إلَيَّ مِنْ أنْ ألْقَي اللّهَ ورَسُولَهُ ظالِماً لِبَعْضِ العِبادِ، أوْ غاصِباً لِشَيْء مِنَ الحُطامِ، وكَيْفَ أظْلِمُ لِنَفْس يُسْرِعُ إلَى الْبِلى قُفُولُها، وَيَطُولُ فِي الثَّرى حُلُولُها.
