13ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّنِي آكُلُ الطَّعَامَ الطَّيِّبَ وَأَشَمُّ الرِّيحَ الطَّيِّبَةَ وَأَرْكَبُ الدَّابَّةَ الْفَارِهَةَ وَيَتْبَعُنِي الْغُلامُ فَتَرَى فِي هَذَا شَيْئاً مِنَ التَّجَبُّرِ فَلا أَفْعَلَهُ فَأَطْرَقَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّمَا الْجَبَّارُ الْمَلْعُونُ مَنْ غَمَصَ النَّاسَ وَجَهِلَ الْحَقَّ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَقُلْتُ أَمَّا الْحَقُّ فَلا أَجْهَلُهُ وَالْغَمْصُ لا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ قَالَ مَنْ حَقَّرَ النَّاسَ وَتَجَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَذَلِكَ الْجَبَّارُ.


13. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from Muhammad ibn ‘Umar ibn Yazid from his father who has said the following: “Once, I said to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s) ‘I eat good food, use good perfumes, and ride good energetic animals and a young man escorts me. Do you see anything tyrannical in it so I should avoid it? Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s) remained quiet for a while. He then said, ‘A condemned tyrant is one who ignores people and disregards the truth.’ ‘Umar has said that he then said, ‘I do not disregard the truth, but ignoring people is not clear for me.’ The Imam said, ‘Tyranny is when one considers people insignificant and acts among them repressively, such person is a tyrant.’”
