۲۰۰- و من كلام له ( عليه السلام )\r> في معاوية < وَ اللَّهِ مَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بِأَدْهَي مِنِّي وَ لَكِنَّهُ يَغْدِرُ وَ يَفْجُرُ وَ لَوْ لَا كَرَاهِيَةُ الْغَدْرِ لَكُنْتُ مِنْ أَدْهَي النَّاسِ وَ لَكِنْ كُلُّ غُدَرَةٍ فُجَرَةٌ وَ كُلُّ فُجَرَةٍ كُفَرَةٌ وَ لِكُلِّ غَادِرٍ لِوَاءٌ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أُسْتَغْفَلُ بِالْمَكِيدَةِ وَ لَا أُسْتَغْمَزُ بِالشَّدِيدَةِ .

خطبه ۲۰۰-درباره معاويه سياست دروغين معاويه سوگند بخدا! معاويه از من سياستمدارتر نيست، اما معاويه حيله گر و جنايتكار است، اگر نيرنگ ناپسند نبود من زيركترين افراد بودم، ولي هر نيرنگي گناه، و هر گناهي نوعي كفر و انكار است، روز رستاخيز در دست هر حيله گري پرچمي است كه با آن شناخته مي شود. بخدا سوگند! من با فريبكاري غافلگير نمي شوم، و با سختگيري ناتوان نخواهم شد.
ترجمه‌ی انگلیسی
Allah deputed him (the Prophet) as a caller towards Truth and a witness over the creatures. The Prophet conveyed the messages of Allah without being lazy and any shortcoming, and he fought His enemies in the cause of Allah without being languid and pleading excuses. He is the foremost of all who practice piety and the power of perception of all those who achieve guidance. A part of the same sermon, complaining about his men If you know what I know of the unknown that is kept wrapped up from you would certainly have gone out into the open weeping over your deeds and beating yourselves in grief and would have abandoned your properties without any guard for it on any substitute over it. Everyone would then have cared for his own self without paying attention to anyone else. But you have forgotten what was recalled to you and felt safe from what you had been warned. Consequently, your ideas went astray and your affairs were dispersed. I do long that Allah may cause separation between me and you and give me those who have a better right to be with me than you. By Allah, they are people of blissful ideas, enduring wisdom and true speech. They keep aloof from revolt. They trod forward on the path (of Allah) and ran on the highroad. Consequently, they achieved the everlasting next life and easeful honours. Beware! By Allah! A tall lad of swinging gait from Banu Thaqif would be placed over you. He would eat away your vegetation and melt your fat. So, O' Aba Wadhahah, is that all ? Al-Sayyid al-Radi says : " al-Wadhahah " means " al-khunfusa' " dung-beetle ". " In this sentence Amir al-Mu'minin has referred to al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf al-Thaqafi and he had an incident with " al-Khunfusa' ", which need not be related here.
