وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، [ رَفَعَهُ ] أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ [قَالَ] : لَا يَسْتَرْعِي اللهُ تَعَالَى عَبْدًا رَعِيَّةً قَلَّتْ أَوْ كَثُرَتْ إِلَّا سَأَلَهُ عَنْهَا أَقَامَتْ فِيهِمْ إِمْرَتُهُ أَوْ ضَاعَتْ ، حَتَّى يَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ خَاصَّةً .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, makes a servant the guardian of a flock (ra'iyyah) (subjects or subordinates), whether they are few or many, Allah Almighty will certainly question him about them: whether he upheld his authority (imrah) (rule and responsibility) among them well or squandered it, until Allah will call him to account especially about the members of his own household."
