Gleanings — Paragraph 481

Source (Arabic)

بعضهم ولن يكنز بعضهم وإنّ هذا لعدل مبين، ولا تجعل الأعزّة تحت أيدي الأذلّة ولا تسلّط الأدنى على الأعلى كما شهدنا في المدينة وكنّا من الشّاهدين، وإنّا لمّا وردنا المدينة وجدنا بعضهم في سعة وغناء عظيم وبعضهم في ذلّة وفقر مبين، وهذا لا ينبغي لسلطنتك

Translation

Allow not the abject to rule over and dominate them who are noble and worthy of honor, and suffer not the high-minded to be at the mercy of the contemptible and worthless, for this is what We observed upon Our arrival in the City (Constantinople), and to it We bear witness. We found among its inhabitants some who were possessed of an affluent fortune and lived in the midst of excessive riches, while others were in dire want and abject poverty. This ill beseemeth thy sovereignty, and is unworthy of thy rank.
