Chapter: Retaliation Of A Ruler On Himself For Striking Someone.
Hadith 4537
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق الْفَزَارِيُّ ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي فِرَاسٍ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي لَمْ أَبْعَثْ عُمَّالِي لِيَضْرِبُوا أَبْشَارَكُمْ وَلَا لِيَأْخُذُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ ، فَمَنْ فُعِلَ بِهِ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَرْفَعْهُ إِلَيَّ أُقِصُّهُ مِنْهُ ، قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ : لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَدَّبَ بَعْضَ رَعِيَّتِهِ أَتُقِصُّهُ مِنْهُ ؟ قَالَ : إِي وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ أُقِصُّهُ ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقَصَّ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ " .
Narrated Abu Firas: Umar bin al-Khattab (ra) addressed us and said: I did not send my collectors (of zakat) so that they strike your bodies and that they take your property. If that is done with someone and he appeals to me, I shall take retaliation on him. Amr ibn al-As said: If any man (i. e. governor) inflicts disciplinary punishment on his subjects, would you take retaliation on him too? He said: Yes, by Him in Whose hand my soul is, I shall take retaliation on him. I saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has given retaliation on himself.
