Amīr al-mu’minīn rebukes the crowd for appearing only in disgraceful situations

٢٠٠. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام) وقد أُتي بِجَانٍ وَمَعَهُ غَوْغَاءُ: فَقَالَ : لَا مَرْحَباً بِوُجُوهٍ لَا تُرَى إِلَّا عِنْدَ كُلِّ سَوْأَةٍ .
200. An offender was brought before Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, and there was a crowd of people with the man, so Amīr al-mu’minīn remarked: Woe to the faces who are seen only on foul occasions.
