Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40538 — Reports on Uthman (may Allah be)
٤٠٥٣٨ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: (أخبرنا) (١) أبو عبيدة عن الحسن قال: إنما (جعل) (٢) اللَّه هذا السلطان ناصرًا لعباد اللَّه (ولدينه) (٣)، فكيف من ركب ظلما على عباد اللَّه واتخذ عباد اللَّه خولا؟ يحكمون في دمائهم وأموالهم ما شاءوا، واللَّه ⦗٤٦٠⦘ إن يمتنع أحد، واللَّه ما لقيت أمة بعد نبيها من الفتن والذل ما لقيت هذه بعد (نبيها) (٤).
It is narrated from al-Hasan: Allah makes a king a ruler only to help the servants of Allah and for His religion. What then will be the state of the one who oppresses the servants of Allah, makes them his slaves, and then, as king, decides as he wishes about people's lives and wealth? By Allah, no one even stops him. By Allah, no community after its prophet has met with such trial and humiliation as this community has met with after its Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
