وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، ثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ مِخْرَاقٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
لَعَدْلُ الْعَامِلِ فِي رَعِيَّتِهِ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ الْعَابِدِ فِي أَهْلِهِ مِائَةَ عَامٍ أَوْ خَمْسِينَ عَامًا
