Hadith of Amr ibn Murrah al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 18033 — Hadith of Amr ibn Murrah al-Juhani
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَسَنٍ ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ مُرَّةَ قَالَ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ : يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنْ إِمَامٍ أَوْ وَالٍ يُغْلِقُ بَابَهُ دُونَ ذَوِي الْحَاجَةِ وَالْخَلَّةِ وَالْمَسْكَنَةِ ، إِلَّا أَغْلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ دُونَ حَاجَتِهِ وَخَلَّتِهِ وَمَسْكَنَتِهِ " . قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَجُلًا عَلَى حَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ.
Hazrat Amr bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) once said to Hazrat Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him): O Muawiyah! I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever, as a ruler or governor, keeps his doors closed before the needy, the poor, and the destitute, Allah Almighty closes the doors of the heavens before his needs, poverty, and destitution. Consequently, Hazrat Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed a man to fulfill the needs of the people.
