قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ جَنَى عَلَيَّ أَعْفُو عَنْهُ أَوْ أَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ قَالَ هُوَ حَقُّكَ إِنْ عَفَوْتَ عَنْهُ فَحَسَنٌ وَ إِنْ رَفَعْتَهُ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ فَإِنَّمَا طَلَبْتَ حَقَّكَ وَ كَيْفَ لَكَ بِالْإِمَامِ.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (The narrator) says, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far asws , ‘A man commited a crime upon me. Shall I excuse him from it, or raise it to the authorities?’ He asws said: ‘It is your right. If you were to excuse from it, so it is better, and if you were to raise it to the Imam asws , so rather you would be seeking your right, and how would it be (dealt) for you by the Imam asws ’.
