Pearl of Wisdom
Imam 'Ali (AS) asked Ibn 'Abbas [according to another account], 'What is the value of this sandal?' Ibn 'Abbas said, 'It is worthless.' He (AS} said, 'I swear by Allah, it has more value to me than ruling over you, except for being able to uphold the law and prevent wrong doing.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 33
