 i warn you and myself against being deceived by him being indifferent to his commands underestimating his resolve and feeling secure in his deceit. i have seen its effects on the people of his rule and enmity how he made them a lesson for those who came before and an example for those who will come after.
وأحذرك ونفسي الله والاغترار به، والإدهان في أمره، والاستهانة بعزائمه، والأمن لمكره؛ فقد رأيت آثاره في أهل ولايته وعداوته، كيف جعلهم للماضين عبرة، وللغابرين مثلا.
