Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9085

عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " مَنْ أَكْرَمَ سُلْطَانَ اللَّهِ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - فِي الدُّنْيَا أَكْرَمَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَمَنْ أَهَانَ سُلْطَانَ اللَّهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - فِي الدُّنْيَا أَهَانَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
قُلْتُ : رَوَى التِّرْمِذِيُّ مِنْهُ : " مَنْ أَهَانَ " دُونَ : " مَنْ أَكْرَمَ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِاخْتِصَارٍ وَزَادَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ : " الْإِمَامُ ظِلُّ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ " . وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever honours the authority of Allah in this world, Allah Almighty will honour him on the Day of Resurrection; and whoever disgraces the authority appointed by Allah in this world, Allah Almighty will disgrace him on the Day of Resurrection." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
Al-Tirmidhi recorded it, but he recorded only the part about disgracing from it, not the part about honouring.
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in abridged form; at its beginning he recorded the words: "The ruler is the shade of Allah on earth." The narrators of Ahmad are thiqat (trustworthy).
