Hadith 26199

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي جَرِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ , عَنْ حَرْمَلَةَ الْمِصْرِيِّ , عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي شَيْئًا فَرَفَقَ بِهِمْ , فَارْفُقْ بِهِ , وَمَنْ شَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ , فَشُقَّ عَلَيْهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: O Allah! Whoever is made responsible for any affair of my Ummah and causes them hardship, then O Allah, inflict hardship upon him; and whoever is made responsible for any affair of my Ummah and treats them gently, then be gentle with him. It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once Hazrat Harith bin Hisham asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): How does revelation come to you? Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith.
