[Machine] “No one should assume this office except a man who possesses four qualities: gentleness without weakness, firmness without violence, restraint without miserliness, and generosity without extravagance; for if one of them falls away, the other three are corrupted.”
"لا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَلِيَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ فِيه أَرْبَعُ خِلَالٍ: اللِّينُ فِي غَيْرِ ضَعْفٍ، وَالشِّدَّةُ فِي غَيْرِ عُنْفٍ، وَالإِمْسَاكُ مِنْ غَيْرِ بُخْلٍ، وَالسَّماحَةُ فِي غَيْرِ سَرَفٍ، فَإِنْ سَقَطتْ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُن فَسَدَتِ الثَّلَاثُ".
