Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 11041a
✧ Alif with Sin
"السُّلطَانُ ظِلُّ اللهِ فِي الأَرْضِ، يأوى إِلَيهِ كُلُّ مَظلُومٍ مِنْ عبَادِه فإِذَا عَدَلَ كَانَ لَهُ الأجْرُ وَعَلَى الرَّعِيَّة الشُّكْرُ، وإِذَا جَارَ كَانَ عَلَيهِ الإِصْرُ، وَعَلَى الرَّعِيَّةَ الصَّبْرُ، وإذَا جَارَتِ الْوُلاةُ قُحِطَتْ السَّمَاءُ، وَإذَا مُنعَتِ الزَّكَاةُ هَلَكَتِ الْمَوَاشِى، وَإذَا ظَهَرَ الزِّنى ظَهَرَ الفَقْرُ والْمَسْكَنَةُ، وإذَا أُخْفِرَتْ أَهْلُ الذِّمَّةِ أُديلَ الكُفَّارُ".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
"The sultan is the shadow of Allah on earth; every oppressed one among His servants takes refuge in him. If he is just, there is reward for him, and gratitude is due from the subjects. If he oppresses, the burden is upon him, and patience is due from the subjects. When the rulers oppress, the sky withholds its rain; when zakah is withheld, the livestock perish; when adultery becomes widespread, poverty and destitution appear; and when the protected people (ahl al-dhimmah) are betrayed, the disbelievers are given power over them".
