Arabic text

وَأَقْبَلَ حَرْبٌ يَمْشِي مَعَهُ، وَهُوَ (عليه السلام) رَاكِبٌ. فَقَالَ (عليه السلام) لَهُ: ارْجِعْ، فَإِنَّ مَشْيَ مِثْلِكَ مَعَ مِثْلِي فِتْنَةٌ لِلْوَالِي، وَمَذَلَّةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ.

Original English translation

Ḥarb began to walk with him while Amīr al-mu’minīn was on horseback, so Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said to him: Get back because the walking of a man like you with one like me is mischief for the ruler and disgrace for the believer.
