أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنبَأَنَا بَقِيَّةُ حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ رُسْتُمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ قَالَ
تَطَاوَلَ النَّاسُ فِي الْبِنَاءِ فِي زَمَنِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْعُرَيْبِ الْأَرْضَ الْأَرْضَ إِنَّهُ لَا إِسْلَامَ إِلَّا بِجَمَاعَةٍ وَلَا جَمَاعَةَ إِلَّا بِإِمَارَةٍ وَلَا إِمَارَةَ إِلَّا بِطَاعَةٍ فَمَنْ سَوَّدَهُ قَوْمُهُ عَلَى الْفِقْهِ كَانَ حَيَاةً لَهُ وَلَهُمْ وَمَنْ سَوَّدَهُ قَوْمُهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ فِقْهٍ كَانَ هَلَاكًا لَهُ وَلَهُمْ»

✧ People became excessive in building during the time of Umar, so Umar said: 'O assembly of Arabs, the land, the land! Indeed there is no Islam except with a community, and no community except with leadership, and no leadership except with obedience. So whoever his people make a leader based on understanding, it is life for him and for them. And whoever his people make a leader without understanding, it is destruction for him and for them.'
