أولاً: ضرَب المؤسس الملك عبدالعزيز، طيب الله ثراه، أروع الأمثلة حين وقف خصماً لنفسه أمام قاضي الرياض الشيخ سعد بن عتيق، مؤكداً أن القضاء مستقل والعدل فوق الجميع.
ثانياً: على النهج نفسه، قال الملك سعود لأبنائه: «إذا أخذ أحدكم حقاً ليس له فالقوي فيكم ضعيف عندي حتى آخذ الحق منه».
ثالثاً: جسّد الملك فيصل قيمة الانضباط حين حضر إلى مكتبه مبكراً فوجده مغلقاً، فقال: «الخطأ خطأنا وليس خطأ الحارس».
رابعاً: رفض الملك خالد السكن في بيت بجبل أبي قبيس حتى تأكد أن أهله نالوا حقوقهم كاملة، وزاد التعويض ضعفين إبراءً للذمة.
خامساً: في قصة مؤثرة؛ أمر الأمير سلطان بإحضار أحد وكلائه للمحكمة استجابة لشكوى مواطن، ووجّه الأمير سلمان حينها بقوله: «ما يقرره الشرع يُنفَّذ لنا أو علينا».
سادساً: حرص الأمير نايف على فتح تحقيق شامل بعد حادث مروري بسيط لامرأة معتمرة، ولم يطمئن إلا بعد إنصافها وتعويضها من ماله الخاص.
سابعاً: لخّص خادم الحرمين الشريفين الملك سلمان هذا النهج بقوله: «في بعض الدول حصانة للملوك أو الرؤساء ضد الدعاوى، أما هنا فيستطيع أي مواطن أن يرفع قضية على الملك أو ولي العهد أو أي فرد من الأسرة».
“Justice” is the foundation of governance and a source of reassurance for nations, and no entity can thrive or maintain its glory unless justice is the cornerstone of its construction. There are inherited testimonies from Saudi leaders that affirm that justice is not merely a slogan, but a solid practice that has ensured the stability of the state and the tranquility of its people. Among those testimonies:
First: The founder King Abdulaziz, may God rest his soul, set the finest example when he stood as an opponent to himself before the judge of Riyadh, Sheikh Saad bin Atiq, affirming that the judiciary is independent and justice is above all.
Second: In the same vein, King Saud told his sons: “If any of you takes a right that does not belong to him, the strong among you is weak before me until I take the right from him.”
Third: King Faisal embodied the value of discipline when he arrived at his office early only to find it closed, saying: “The mistake is ours, not the guard’s.”
Fourth: King Khalid refused to live in a house on Mount Abu Qubais until he ensured that his family received their full rights, and he doubled the compensation to clear his conscience.
Fifth: In a touching story, Prince Sultan ordered one of his agents to be brought to court in response to a citizen’s complaint, and Prince Salman directed at that time, saying: “What is decided by Sharia is executed for us or against us.”
Sixth: Prince Naif was keen to open a comprehensive investigation after a minor traffic incident involving a female pilgrim, and he did not feel reassured until she was treated fairly and compensated from his own funds.
Seventh: The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman, summarized this approach by saying: “In some countries, there is immunity for kings or presidents against lawsuits, but here any citizen can file a case against the king, the crown prince, or any member of the family.”
