باب في الْعَدْلِ بَيْنَ الرَّعِيَّةِ:Chapter on justice among subjects
Hadith 2831
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَشْهَبِ: جَعْفَرُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ: أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زِيَادٍ عَادَ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَعْقِلٌ: إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ بِي حَيَاةً مَا حَدَّثْتُكَ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: "مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْتَرْعِيهِ اللَّهُ رَعِيَّةً، يَمُوتُ يَوْمَ يَمُوتُ، وَهُوَ غَاشٌّ لِرَعِيَّتِهِ، إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ".
Ubaidullah bin Ziyad came to visit our master Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) during the illness in which he passed away. So our master Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will narrate to you a hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and if I knew that my life would continue, I would not narrate it. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "There is no servant whom Allah makes a ruler over a people, and he dies while being deceitful to his subjects, except that Allah will make Paradise forbidden for him."
