76 WISOOM OF THE HOLY PROPHET 26. Your leaders will be as you deserve. 27. The best rulers are those whom you like and who like you. who pray for you and for whom you pray, and the worst are those whom you dislike and who djslike you and whom you curse and who curse you. Someone asked; Messenger of Allah, should we not depose such persons with the sword? He answered: Not so long as they maintain the prayer services among you. When you perceive something on the part of any of them which you dislike, resent his conduct, but do not withdraw from obedience to him. 28. The Holy Prophet (peace be on him) was requested to fix the prices of commodities and articles. He declined, saying Allah fixes the prices. He straitens and He enlarges. He is the Provider. I am anxious that when I meet my Lord no one of you should charge me with injustice in the matter of life or property.
