Musnad Ahmad 10777 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو , حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ , عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ , عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ , وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ , فَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِتَقْوَى وَعَدَلَ , فَإِنَّ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَجْرًا , وَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ , فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ مَنْهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The ruler is a shield; fighting is done behind him and through him, piety is adopted. If he gives a ruling based on piety and justice, he will be rewarded for it, and if he gives any wrong ruling besides that, its burden will be upon him.
