"عن محمود بن خالد، حدثنا سويدُ بن عبد العزيز، حدثنا سيار أبو الحكم، عن أَبى وائل: أن عمر بن الخطاب استعمل بشر بن عاصم على صدقات هوازن فتخلف بشرٌ، فلقيهُ عُمَرُ فقال: ما خلفك؟ أما لنا عليك سمع وطاعة؟ قال: بلى ولكن سمعت رسول اللَّه ﷺ يقول: من وَلِى شيئًا من أمرِ المسلمين أُتى به يومَ القيامة حتى يوقفَ على جِسر جَهَنم فإن كان مُحْسنًا نجا، وإن كان مسيئًا انخرق به الجِسر فهوى فيه سبعينَ خريفًا، فرجع عمر كئيبًا حزِينًا، فلقيه أبو ذَرٍّ فقال: ما لى أراك كئيبًا حزينًا؟ قال: ما يمنعنى أنْ لا أكون كئيبًا حزينًا وقد سمعت بشر بن عاصم يحدث عن رسول اللَّه ﷺ أنه قال: (من ولى شيئًا من أمر المسلمين أتى به يوم القيامة حتى يوقفَ على جِسرِ جهنم، فإن كان محسنًا نجا، وإن كان مسيئًا انخرق به الجسر فهوى فيه سبعين خريفًا) قال أبو ذر: أما سمعته من رسول اللَّه ﷺ قال: لا، قال: أشهد أنى سمعت رسول اللَّه ﷺ يقول: (من ولى أحدًا من الناسِ أُتى به يومَ القيامة حتى يوقفَ على جسرِ جهنم فإن كان محسنًا نجا وإن كان مسيئًا انخرق به الجسر فهوى به سبعين خريفًا) وهى سوداء مظلمة، فأى الحديثين أوجع لِقَلبك؟ قال: كلاهما قد أوجعَ قلبى، فمن يأخذُها بما فيها؟ () قال أبو ذر: من سلت ( ) اللَّه أنفَه وألصق خده بالأرض، أَمَا إنّا لا نعلمُ إلا خيرًا، وعسى إِن ولَّيْتها من لا يعدل فيها أَن لا ينجو من أثمها قط".

"Mahmud ibn Khalid narrated to us: Suwayd ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz narrated to us: Sayyar Abu al-Hakam narrated to us, from Abu Wa'il: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed Bishr ibn 'Asim over the zakat of Hawazin, but Bishr was late, so 'Umar met him and said: What kept you back? Do we not have hearing and obedience from you? He said: Yes, but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Whoever is put in charge of any affair of the Muslims will be brought on the Day of Resurrection until he is made to stand on the bridge of Hell. If he was righteous he will be saved, and if he was wrongdoing the bridge will break beneath him and he will fall into it for seventy autumns. So 'Umar returned sorrowful and grieved. Abu Dhar met him and said: What is wrong with you, I see you sorrowful and grieved? He said: What keeps me from not being sorrowful and grieved, when I have heard Bishr ibn 'Asim narrate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said: (Whoever is put in charge of any affair of the Muslims will be brought on the Day of Resurrection until he is made to stand on the bridge of Hell; if he was righteous he will be saved, and if he was wrongdoing the bridge will break beneath him and he will fall into it for seventy autumns). Abu Dhar said: Did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: No. He said: I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: (Whoever is put in charge of any of the people will be brought on the Day of Resurrection until he is made to stand on the bridge of Hell; if he was righteous he will be saved, and if he was wrongdoing the bridge will break beneath him and he will fall into it for seventy autumns), and it is black and dark. Which of the two narrations hurts your heart more? He said: Both have hurt my heart. Then who will take it with what is in it? () Abu Dhar said: Whoever ( ) Allah rubs his nose in the dust and presses his cheek to the ground. Indeed we do not know except good, but perhaps if you appoint someone in it who does not act justly, he will not be saved from its sin at all."
