وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ضِرَارٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ؓ، قَالَ:

مَا أَنَا بِالْمُثْنِي عَلَى وَالٍ، قُلْتُ: وَلِمَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: يُؤْتَى بِالْوُلَاةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَادِلِهِمْ وَجَائِرِهِمْ حَتَّى يَقِفُوا عَلَى جِسْرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: فِيكُمْ طَلَبِي، فَلَا يَبْقَى جَائِرٌ فِي حُكْمِهِ، مُرْتَشٍ فِي قَضَائِهِ، مُمَكِّنٌ سَمْعَهُ أَحَدَ الْخَصْمَيْنِ إِلَّا هَوَى فِي النَّارِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا ".

✧ I am not one to praise a ruler." I said: "Why is that?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'The rulers will be brought on the Day of Resurrection, the just and the unjust among them, until they stand on the bridge of Hell. Then God, Mighty and Majestic, will say: "My demand is upon you." So no unjust ruler in his judgment, no one who takes bribes in his rulings, no one who gives ear to one of the two disputants will remain but he will fall into the Fire for seventy autumns.'"
