Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34746 — Reports on the just imam
٣٤٧٤٦ - حدثنا وكيع قال: ثنا أبو مكين قال: سمعت زيد بن أسلم يقول: ﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمْتُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَنْ تَحْكُمُوا بِالْعَدْلِ﴾ [النساء: ٥٨]، قال: (أنزلت) (١) في ولاة الأمر.
Abu Mukin (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Zayd bin Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him) described the occasion of revelation of this verse as follows: The verse: "Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to those to whom they are due, and that when you judge between people, you judge with justice" [An-Nisa: 58]. He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This verse was revealed concerning the affairs of rulers."
