حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شَيْخٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ
قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حِينَ بَعَثَنِي إِلَى الشَّامِ: يَا يَزِيدُ، إِنَّ لَكَ قَرَابَةً عَسَيْتَ أَنْ تُؤْثِرَهُمْ بِالْإِمَارَةِ وَذَلِكَ أَكْبَرُ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ شَيْئًا فَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَحَدًا مُحَابَاةً، فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ، لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ مِنْهُ صَرْفًا وَلَا عَدْلًا حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ جَهَنَّمَ، وَمَنْ أَعْطَى أَحَدًا حِمَى اللهِ، فَقَدِ انْتَهَكَ فِي حِمَى اللهِ شَيْئًا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ، فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ ( أَوْ قَالَ: تَبَرَّأَتْ مِنْهُ ذِمَّةُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ).

✧ Abu Bakr said when he sent me to Syria: O Yazid, you have relatives whom you may favor with leadership, and that is the greatest thing I fear for you. For the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever is given authority over any affair of the Muslims and appoints someone over them out of favoritism, upon him is the curse of Allah. Allah will not accept from him any exchange nor justice until He admits him into Hell. And whoever gives someone the protection of Allah, he has violated something in Allah's protection without its right, upon him is the curse of Allah (or he said: the protection of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is released from him).
