Hadith 21

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي شَيْخٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ ، عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حِينَ بَعَثَنِي إِلَى الشَّامِ : يَا يَزِيدُ ، إِنَّ لَكَ قَرَابَةً عَسَيْتَ أَنْ تُؤْثِرَهُمْ بِالْإِمَارَةِ ، وَذَلِكَ أَكْبَرُ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ ، فَإِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ شَيْئًا ، فَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَحَدًا مُحَابَاةً ، فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ ، لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ صَرْفًا وَلَا عَدْلًا ، حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ جَهَنَّمَ ، وَمَنْ أَعْطَى أَحَدًا حِمَى اللَّهِ ، فَقَدْ انْتَهَكَ فِي حِمَى اللَّهِ شَيْئًا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ ، فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ ، أَوْ قَالَ : تَبَرَّأَتْ مِنْهُ ذِمَّةُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " .
Yazid bin Abi Sufyan narrates that when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) sent me towards Syria, he advised me, saying: "Yazid! You have some relatives, and it is possible that, because you are the commander of the army, you may give preference to your relatives. Of all things, this is what I fear most regarding you, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever is made responsible for any collective affair of the Muslims and, by giving preference to others, appoints someone to a position, the curse of Allah is upon him. Allah will not accept any obligatory or voluntary act of worship from him, until He admits him into Hell. And whoever gives someone protection in the name of Allah, and then unjustly breaks the promise of protection given in Allah’s name, the curse of Allah is upon him, or he said: Allah is free from him."
