Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 12028 — The First Chapter Regarding What Has Been
عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ”إِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فِيكُمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ وُلَاتُهُ، وَلَنْ يَزَالَ فِيكُمْ حَتَّى تُحْدِثُوا أَعْمَالًا، فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُمْ ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ شَرَّ خَلْقِهِ، فَيَلْتَحِيكُمْ كَمَا يُلْتَحَى الْقَضِيبُ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) delivered a sermon to us and said: This caliphate will remain with you and you alone will be its owners; it will remain with you as long as you do not commit unlawful acts. When you commit unlawful acts, Allah Almighty will raise evil people against you, and they will strip your skin from you just as a stick is peeled.
