رُوِيَ: "أَنَّهُ دَنَا مِنْ أَمِيرِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ صَبِيَّانِ بِيَدِهِمَا لَوْحَانِ فَقَالاَ يَا أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ خَايِرْ بَيْنَنَا قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "إِنَّ اَلْجَوْرَ فِي هَذَا كَالْجَوْرِ فِي اَلْأَحْكَامِ أَبْلِغَا مُؤَدِّبَكُمَا عَنِّي أَنَّهُ إِنْ ضَرَبَكُمَا فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ كَانَ ذَلِكَ قِصَاصاً يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ " ".
It has been narrated that two boys approached Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام holding their wooden tablets and said: "O' Commander of the Faithful, judge between us." Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام replied: "Injustice in this matter is like injustice in legal rulings. Convey to your teacher on my behalf that if he strikes you more than three times, it will be taken as retribution against him on the Day of Judgment."
