 you are worse to us than the indians the romans the turks and the daylamites because you are more likely to cause harm and more permanent evil. then this was your description your adornment and your treatment in something that you had no choice but to do. so how would you have been if you were tested with something that you had no choice but to do and faces were exposed to you and you had the choice and no path of compulsion upon you?
فأنتم شر علينا من الهند والروم ومن الترك والديلم ١ ، إذ كنتم أحضر أذى وأدوم شرا. ثم كانت هذه صفتكم وحليتكم ومعاملتكم في شيء لا بد لكم منه، فكيف كنتم لو امتحنتم بما لكم عنه مندوحة والوجوه لكم فيه معرضة، وأنتم فيه بالخيار وليس عليكم طريق للإضطرار؟
