قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، قَالَا:
خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ. فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ... وَفِيهِ وَمَنْ تَوَلَّى خُصُومَةَ قَوْمٍ بِمَظْلَمَةٍ، أَوْ أَعَانَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ نَزَلَ بِهِ الْمَلَكُ يُبَشِّرُهُ بِلَعْنَةٍ وَنَارٍ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ، وَمَنْ خَفَّ لِسُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَهُوَ قَرِينُهُ فِي النَّارِ، وَمَنْ دَلَّ سُلْطَانًا عَلَى جَوْرٍ قُرِنَ مَعَ هَامَانَ فِي النَّارِ، وَكَانَ هُوَ وَذَلِكَ السُّلْطَانُ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا، وَمَنْ لَطَمَ خَدَّ مُسْلِمٍ لَطْمَةً بَدَّدَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عِظَامَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّطُ عَلَيْهِ النَّارَ، وَيُبْعَثُ [حِينَ يُبْعَثُ] مَغْلُولًا حَتَّى يَرِدَ النَّارَ، وَمَنْ تَعَلَّقَ سَوْطًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ جَعَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ حَيَّةً طُولُهَا سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ فَتُسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا، وَمَنْ سَعَى بِأَخِيهِ إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ أَحْبَطَ اللهُ عَمَلَهُ كُلَّهُ، فَإِنْ وَصَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَكْرُوهٌ أَوْ أَذًى جَعَلَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى مَعَ هَامَانَ فِي دَرَجَتِهِ فِي النَّارِ، وَمَنْ تَوَلَّى عِرَافَةَ قَوْمٍ حُبِسَ عَلَى شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ، وَحُشِرَ وَيَدُهُ مَغْلُولَةٌ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ، فَإِنْ كَانَ أَقَامَ أَمْرَ اللهِ فِيهِمْ أُطْلِقَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ ظَالِمًا هَوَى فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا ". وَفِيهِ " أَلَا وَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى - جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ - لَا يَظْلِمُ وَلَا يَجُوزُ عَلَيْهِ الظُّلْمُ، وَهُوَ بِالْمِرْصَادِ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاءُوا بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى، فَمَنْ أَحْسَنَ فَلِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهَا وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ ".

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us... and in it: "Whoever undertakes a dispute on behalf of a people unjustly, or helps them in it, an angel descends upon him giving him tidings of a curse and an eternal fire, abiding therein forever—and what an evil destination. Whoever hastens to serve an unjust ruler for some need is his companion in the Fire. Whoever directs a ruler toward injustice is paired with Haman in the Fire, and he and that ruler are among the people most severely punished. Whoever slaps the cheek of a Muslim, Allah the Exalted will scatter his bones on the Day of Resurrection, then set the Fire over him, and he will be raised [when he is raised] in chains until he reaches the Fire. Whoever holds a whip before an unjust ruler, Allah the Exalted will make for him a serpent seventy thousand cubits long, and it will be set upon him in the Fire of Hell, abiding therein forever. Whoever reports his brother to the ruler, Allah will nullify all his deeds. If any harm or injury reaches him, Allah the Exalted will place him with Haman in his level in the Fire. Whoever assumes the leadership of a people is detained at the brink of Hell for a thousand years for each day, and he will be gathered with his hand chained to his neck. If he upheld the command of Allah among them, he is released; but if he was unjust, he falls into the Fire of Hell for seventy autumns." And in it: "Indeed, Allah the Exalted—glorified be His praise—does not wrong, nor is injustice permissible upon Him. He is on the watchtower to recompense those who do evil for what they did and to recompense those who do good with the best. So whoever does good, it is for his own soul; and whoever does evil, it is against it. And your Lord is not unjust to His servants."
