Al-Adab al-Mufrad 416 — Advising One's Brother Even if Not Consulted
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، أَنَّ وَهْبَ بْنَ كَيْسَانَ أَخْبَرَهُ، وَكَانَ وَهْبٌ أَدْرَكَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَأَى رَاعِيًا وَغَنَمًا فِي مَكَانٍ قَبِيحٍ وَرَأَى مَكَانًا أَمْثَلَ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: وَيْحَكَ، يَا رَاعِي، حَوِّلْهَا، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”كُلُّ رَاعٍ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he saw a shepherd and goats in an unsuitable place. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) saw a better and more suitable place, so he said: Woe to you, O shepherd! Move these goats from here. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Every guardian will be questioned about his responsibility."
