حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَنْدَهْ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخِيَارِ عُمَّالِكُمْ وَشِرَارِهِمْ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ خِيَارَهُمْ لَكُمْ مَنْ تُحِبُّونَهُ وَيُحِبُّكُمْ وَتَدْعُونَ اللهَ لَهُمْ وَيَدْعُونَ اللهَ لَكُمْ وَشِرَارُهُمْ شِرَارُهُمْ لَكُمْ مَنْ تُبْغِضُونَهُمْ وَيُبْغِضُونَكُمْ وَتَدْعُونَ اللهَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَدْعُونَ اللهَ عَلَيْكُمْ» فَقَالُوا أَفَلَا نُقَاتِلُهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا دَعُوهُمْ مَا صَامُوا وَصَلُّوا»

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Shall I inform you of the best of your governors and the worst of them?” They said: “Yes, O Messenger of God.” He said: “The best of them for you are those whom you love and who love you, and you pray to God for them and they pray to God for you. And the worst of them for you are those whom you hate and who hate you, and you pray to God against them and they pray to God against you.” They said: “Shall we not fight them, O Messenger of God?” He said: “No, leave them as long as they fast and pray.”
