وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا عَلَى عِصَابَةٍ وَفِي تِلْكَ الْعِصَابَةِ مَنْ هُوَ أَرْضَى لِلهِ مِنْهُ فَقَدْ خَانَ اللهَ وَخَانَ رَسُولَهُ ﷺ، وَخَانَ [جَمِيعَ] الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ".
