 all the persian kings first and last did not prevent anyone from their elite or common people from thanking those who had bestowed favors upon them or upon one of them praising them and mentioning their favors and kindness even if the sharia had killed him and the king had been angry with him. rather they recognized the virtue of those who had shown that and they ordered that they be connected to him and looked after him.
وكانت ملوك الأعاجم كلها، أولها وآخرها، لا تمنع أحدا من خاصتها وعامتها شكر من أنعم عليها أو على أحد منها، وتقريظه وذكر نعمه وإحسانه، وإن كانت الشريعة قد قتلته، والملك قد سخط عليه. بل كانوا يعرفون فضيلة من ظهر ذلك منه، ويأمرون بصلته وتعهده.
