٢٠٩. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): لَتَعْطِفَنَّ الدُّنْيَا عَلَيْنَا بَعْدَ شِمَاسِهَا عَطْفَ الضَّرُوسِ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا. وَتَلَا عَقِيبَ ذَلِكَ: ﴿وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوَارِثِينَ﴾.

209. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him said: The world will bend towards us after having been refractory as the biting she-camel bends towards its young. Then Amīr al-mu’minīn recited the verse: And intend We to bestow (Our) favour upon those who were considered weak in the land, and to make them the Imams (guides in faith), and to make them the heirs. (Qur’ān, 28:5) [1]

209. Que le monde, après son courroux» ait pitié de nous à la manière de la chamelle qui ne se laisse pas traire mais a de la sympathie pour ses rejetons. (Après cela, il cite le verset): «Nous voulions favoriser ceux qui avaient été faibles sur terre et eu faire des dirigeants et en faire les héritiers» (28:5).
