✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sent Amr b. al-As over the army of Dhat al-Salasil, and sent with him in that army Abu Bakr and Umar ؓ and the noble leaders of his companions. They set out until they encamped at the mountain of Tayyi'. Amr said: Look for a man who is a guide to the way. They said: We know none but Rafi' b. Amr, for he was a rabil in the Jahiliyya. I asked Tariq: What is al-rabil? He said: The thief who raids a people alone and steals. Rafi' said: When we finished our expedition and I reached the place from which we had set out, I took note of Abu Bakr ؓ and went to him and said: O companion of al-khallal, I have taken note of you from among your companions, so bring me something by which, if I memorize it, I will be like you. He said: “Do you memorize your five fingers?” I said: Yes. He said: “You bear witness that there is no god but God and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and you establish the five prayers, and you give zakah if you have wealth, and you perform the pilgrimage to the House, and you fast Ramadan. Have you memorized it?” I said: Yes. He said: “And another thing: do not accept leadership over two people.” I said: Is leadership anything but among you, the people of Badr? He said: “It is about to spread until it reaches you and those lesser than you. Verily God ﷻ, when He sent His Prophet ﷺ, people entered Islam. Among them were those who entered and God guided them, and among them were those whom the sword compelled. He is one who returns to God and a neighbor of God under God's protection. Verily when a man is a leader and people wrong each other, and he does not take from some for others, God will take vengeance on him. Verily a man's neighbor's sheep is taken, and he remains with his muscle protruding in anger for his neighbor, for God is behind his neighbor.” Rafi' said: I stayed for a year, then Abu Bakr was appointed caliph, so I rode to him and said: I am Rafi'; I met you on such and such a day in such and such a place. He said: “I recognized you.” I said: You forbade me from leadership, then you took on something greater than that: the community of Muhammad ﷺ. He said: “Yes, for whoever does not uphold the Book of God among them, upon him is the curse of God,” meaning the curse of God.
