Continuation of the Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)
تَابِعُ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Continuation of the Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 6325 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The imam
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ ، فَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَعَدَلَ ، فَإِنَّ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَجْرًا ، وَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The imam (the ruler of the Muslims) is only a shield, behind which fighting is done and by means of which protection (from the evil of the enemy) is sought. So if he commands the fear of Allah (taqwa) and acts with justice, he will certainly have a great reward for that; and if he commands something contrary to that, its burden will be upon him."
