حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ مَرْثَدٍ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ ضَمْضَمِ بْنِ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبٍ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فِي قَوْمِكَ فَأَوْصِهِمْ بِنَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللهَ لَا تَبْغُوا عَلَى أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي» ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلنَّاسِ «سَيَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِي أُمَرَاءُ فَأَدُّوا طَاعَتَهُمْ فَإِنَّ الْأَمِيرَ مِثْلُ الْمِجَنِّ يُتَّقَى بِهِ فَإِنْ أَصْلَحُوا وَأَمَرُوكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَكُمْ وَلَهُمْ وَإِنْ أَسَاؤُوا فِيمَا أَمَرُوكُمْ فَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنْتُمْ مِنْهُ بَرَاءٌ إِنَّ الْأَمِيرَ إِذَا اتَّبَعَ الرِّيبَةَ فِي النَّاسِ أَفْسَدَهُمْ»

✧ A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this matter is among your people, so advise them concerning us.” He said to them: “I remind you of Allah: do not oppress my community after me.” Then he said to the people: “There will be rulers after me, so render obedience to them. Indeed, the ruler is like a shield; protection is sought with it. If they act rightly and command you to good, then that is for you and for them. But if they do evil in what they command you, then that is upon them, and you are free of it. Indeed, when a ruler pursues suspicion about people, he corrupts them.”
