حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ، نَا صَالِحٌ الْمُرِّيُّ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ وَهُوَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ إِيَاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
إِذَا كَانَتْ أُمَرَاؤُكُمْ خِيَارَكُمْ، وَأَغْنِيَاؤُكُمْ سُمَحَاءَكُمْ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُورُكُمْ شُورَى بَيْنَكُمْ ; فَظَهْرُ الْأَرْضِ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ بَطْنِهَا، وَإِذَا كَانَتْ أُمَرَاؤُكُمْ شِرَارَكُمْ وَأَغْنِيَاؤُكُمْ بُخَلَاءَكُمْ وَأُمُورُكُمْ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ ; فَبَطْنُ الْأَرْضِ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ ظَهْرِهَا

✧ When your rulers are the best of you, your wealthy are the generous of you, and your affairs are conducted by consultation among you, then the surface of the earth is better for you than its interior. When your rulers are the worst of you, your wealthy are the miserly of you, and your affairs are delegated to your women, then the interior of the earth is better for you than its surface.

وهذا الحديث لا نعلم رواه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلا أبو هريرة ولا نعلم له طريقا غير هذا الطريق ولا رواه عن الجريري إلا صالح المري وصالح كان أحد العباد المجتهدين وأحسب أن عبادته كانت تشغله عن حفظ الحديث
machine translationWe do not know that anyone narrated this ḥadīth from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except Abū Hurayrah, and we do not know of any route for it other than this one. Nor did anyone narrate it from al-Jurayrī except Ṣāliḥ al-Murrī. Ṣāliḥ was one of the devoted, diligent worshippers, and I think that his worship occupied him from memorizing ḥadīth.
