ما يوصي به الإمام الولاة إذا بعثهمWhen the Imam Sends Governors, He Should Advise Them
Hadith 35129
٣٥١٢٩ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن عبد اللَّه بن الوليد عن عاصم بن أبي النجود عن ابن خزيمة بن ثابت قال: كان عمر إذا استعمل رجلًا أشهد عليه رهطا من الأنصار وغيرهم، قال: يقول: إني لم أستعملك على دماء المسلمين ولا (١) أعراضهم، ولكني استعملتك عليهم لتقسم بينهم بالعدل، (وتقيم) (٢) فيهم الصلاة، واشترط عليه أن لا يأكل نقيا، ولا يلبس رقيقا، ولا يركب برذونا، ولا يغلق بابه دون حوائج الناس (٣).
The son of Hazrat Khuzaymah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed someone as a governor, he would make a group of the Ansar and other Muslims witnesses over him and would say: I have not appointed you as a leader over the lives and honors of the Muslims, but I have appointed you as a leader over them so that you may distribute among them with justice, and establish prayer among them. And he (may Allah be pleased with him) would stipulate as a condition that he would not eat bread made from sifted flour, nor wear fine clothes, nor ride a horse of noble breed. And at the time of people's needs, he would not close his door to them.
