Chapter: One in charge of a matter, who cheats his subjects, deserves the fire
Hadith 142
حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَشْهَبِ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، قَالَ : عَادَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ الْمُزنِيَّ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ ، قَالَ مَعْقِلٌ : إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ لِي حَيَاةً مَا حَدَّثْتُكَ ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْتَرْعِيهِ اللَّهُ ، رَعِيَّةً يَمُوتُ ، يَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ غَاشٌّ لِرَعِيَّتِهِ ، إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ " .
Hasan reported: 'Ubaidullah bin Ziyad paid a visit to Ma'qil bin Yasar Muzani in his illness of which he (later on) died. (At this juncture) Ma'qil said: I am going to narrate to you a hadith which I have heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and which I would not have transmitted if I knew that I would survive. Verily I have heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: There is none amongst the bondsmen who was entrusted with the affairs of his subjects and he died in such a state that he was dishonest in his dealings with those over whom he ruled that the Paradise is not forbidden for him
Hadith 142
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَلَى مَعْقَلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، وَهُوَ وَجِعٌ فَسَأَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا لَمْ أَكُنْ حَدَّثْتُكَهُ ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا يَسْتَرْعِي اللَّهُ عَبْدًا رَعِيَّةً يَمُوتُ حِينَ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ غَاشٌّ لَهَا ، إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ " ، قَالَ : أَلَّا كُنْتَ حَدَّثْتَنِي هَذَا قَبْلَ الْيَوْمِ ؟ قَالَ : مَا حَدَّثْتُكَ أَوْ لَمْ أَكُنْ لَأُحَدِّثَكَ .
Hasan reported: Ubaidullah bin Ziyad went to see Ma'qil bin Yasir and he was ailing. He ('Ubaidullah) inquired (about his health) to which he (Ma'qil) replied: I am narrating to you a hadith which I avoided narrating to you (before). Verily the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed: Allah does not entrust to his bondsman the responsibility of managing the affairs of his subjects and he dies as a dishonest (ruler) but Paradise is forbidden by Allah for such a (ruler). He (Ibn Ziyad) said: Why did you not narrate it to me before this day? He replied: I (in fact) did not narrate it to you as it was not (fit) for me to narrate that to you.
Hadith 142
وحَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ يَعْنِي الْجُعْفِيَّ ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ الْحَسَنُ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ نَعُودُهُ فَجَاءَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَعْقِلٌ : إِنِّي سَأُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِهِمَا .
Hasan reported: We were with Ma'qil bin Yasar inquiring about his health that Ubaidullah bin Ziyad came there. Ma'qil said to him: Verily I am going to narrate to you a hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . Then he narrated the hadith like those two (mentioned above).
Hadith 142
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.
