حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَا: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
" أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخِيَارِ أُمَرَائِكُمْ وَشِرَارِهِمْ ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى، قَالَ: خِيَارُ أُمَرَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُحِبُّونَهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَكُمْ، وَشِرَارُ أُمَرَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُبْغِضُونَهُمْ وَيُبْغِضُونَكُمْ ".
