وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَإِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ إِسْحَاق : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ : حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زِيَادٍ ، عَادَ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ فِي مَرَضِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَعْقِلٌ : إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ ، لَوْلَا أَنِّي فِي الْمَوْتِ لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكَ بِهِ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنْ أَمِيرٍ يَلِي أَمْرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، ثُمَّ لَا يَجْهَدُ لَهُمْ وَيَنْصَحُ ، إِلَّا لَمْ يَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ " .
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Malih that Ubaidullah bin Ziyad visited Ma'qil bin Yasar in his illness. Ma'qil said to him: I am narrating to you a hadith which I would have never narrated to you had I not been in death-bed. I heard Allah's apostle (ﷺ) say: A ruler who has been entrusted with the affairs of the Muslims but he makes no endeavors ( for the material and moral uplift) and does not sincerely mean (their welfare) would not enter Paradise along with them.
