33. By the One who split the grain and created human being! If people had not come to me and supporters had not exhausted the argument, and if Allah had not commanded the learned that they should not acquiesce in the excesses of the oppressor and the hunger of the oppressed, I would have cast its rope (i.e. of Caliphate) on its own shoulders and would have given the last one to drink from the cup of the first (i.e. I would have let things remain in their previous state). Then you would have found that in my view, this world of yours is not better than the sneezing of a goat.

33 وَالَّذي فَلَقَ الحَبَّةَ وبَرَءَ النَّسَمَةَ، لَوْلا حُضُورُ الحاضِرِ، وَقِيامُ الحُجَّةِ بِوُجوْدِ النّاصِرِ، وما أخَذَ اللّهُ سُبْحانَهُ عَلَى العُلَماءِ أنْ لايُقارُّوا عَلى كِظَّةِ ظالِم، ولاسَغَبِ مَظْلُوْم، لألْقَيْتُ حَبْلَها عَلى غارِبِها، ولَسَقَيْتُ آخِرَها بِكَأْسِ أوَّلِها، وَلألْفَيْتُمْ دُنْياكُمْ هذِهِ عِنْدي أزْهَدَ مِنْ عَفْطَةِ عَنْز.
