أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ مِمَّا حَدَّثَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجُ مِمَّا ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ فَإِنْ أَمْرَ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَعَدَلَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَجْرًا وَإِنْ يَأْمُرْ بِغَيْرِهِ فَإِنَّ عَلَيَهِ وِزْرًا»

✧ On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: “The imam is but a shield; behind him one fights, and by him one seeks protection. If he commands the fear of Allah and acts justly, then he has a reward for that. But if he commands otherwise, then the sin is upon him.”
