عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ شَهْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كَلِمَتَيْنِ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَلِمَةً وَمِنَ النَّجَاشِيِّ أُخْرَى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”انْظُرُوا قُرَيْشًا فَخُذُوا مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ وَذَرُوا فِعْلَهُمْ“ وَكُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّجَاشِيِّ جَالِسًا فَجَاءَ ابْنُهُ مِنَ الْكُتَّابِ فَقَرَأَ آيَةً مِنَ الْإِنْجِيلِ فَعَرَفْتُهَا أَوْ فَهِمْتُهَا فَضَحِكْتُ فَقَالَ مِمَّ تَضْحَكُ أَمِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ أَنَّ اللَّعْنَةَ تَكُونُ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِذَا كَانَ أُمَرَاؤُهَا الصِّبْيَانَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amir bin Shahr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard two special things, one from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the other from Najashi. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Keep an eye on the Quraysh, you must accept their words but abandon their actions. And I was sitting with Najashi when his son came with a book, he recited a verse from the Gospel, I understood it and I laughed. Najashi said: What are you laughing at? Are you laughing after hearing the Book of Allah? By Allah! Among the things that were revealed to Jesus son of Mary was this: When there are young rulers in the world, a curse will descend upon the earth.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … If someone becomes a ruler, then as far as possible, one should try to coexist with him, and not throw mud upon him; otherwise, the consequences of rebellion are severe.
