حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي كُرَيْبٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ فَقَالَ
اسْتَعْمَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ فَلَمَّا مَضَى وَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ «كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَ الْإِمَارَةَ؟» فَقَالَ كُنْتُ كَبَعْضِ الْقَوْمِ كُنْتُ إِذَا رَكِبْتُ رَكِبُوا وَإِذَا نَزَلَتُ نَزَلُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ صَاحِبَ السُّلْطَانِ عَلَى بَابِ عَنَتٍ إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَ اللهُ ﷻ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَاللهِ لَا أَعْمَلُ لَكَ وَلَا لِغَيْرِكَ أَبَدًا فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ appointed a man over a military expedition. When he set out and then returned to him, he said to him: “How did you find command?” He said: I was like one of the people; when I rode, they rode, and when I dismounted, they dismounted. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “The holder of authority stands at the gate of hardship, except for the one whom God Almighty protects.” The man said: By God, I will never work for you or for anyone else again. The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his molars showed.
