Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 20896 — Before I took charge of this affair

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْخَالِقِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ، حَدَّثَهُمْ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أُجَالِسُ بَرِيرَةَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَلِيَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ: يَا عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى فِيكَ خِصَالًا لَخَلِيقٌ أَنْ تَلِيَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ فَإِنْ وُلِّيتَهُ فَاحْذَرِ الدِّمَاءَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لِيُدْفَعُ عَنْ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا عَلَى مِحْجَمَةٍ مِنْ دَمٍ يُرِيقُهُ مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ»
Abd al-Malik bin Marwan said: Before I took charge of this affair (the responsibility of the caliphate), I used to sit with Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) in Madinah, and Sayyidah Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to say: O Abd al-Malik, I see in you qualities that make you fit to take charge of this Ummah. If you are given this responsibility, then beware of shedding blood, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A man is kept back from the gate of Paradise merely because he shed unjustly a cupping-vessel's worth of a Muslim's blood, and then he cannot look at Paradise."
