أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْغَسَّانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْكِنْدِيِّ قَالَ
بَيْنَا أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يَوْمًا يَسِيرُ شَاذًّا مِنَ الْجَيْشِ إِذْ لَقِيَهُ رَجُلَانِ شَاذَانِ مِنَ الْجَيْشِ فَقَالَ يَا هَذَانِ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ ثَلَاثَةٌ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ إِلَّا أُمَّرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَلْيَتَأَمَّرْ أَحَدُكُمْ قَالَا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتُمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ وَالِي ثَلَاثَةٍ إِلَّا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ مَغْلُولَةَ يَمِينُهُ فَكَّهُ عَدْلُهُ أَوْ غَلَّهُ جَورُهُ»

✧ While Abū al-Dardāʾ was one day traveling alone from the army, he met two men who were alone from the army. He said, “O you two, whenever three are in a place like this they are given a commander, so let one of you take command.” They said, “You, O Abū al-Dardāʾ.” He said, “Rather you two. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, ‘There is no ruler of three except that he will meet Allah with his right hand fettered. His justice will release it, or his injustice will keep it fettered.’”
