Bayhaqi 17902 — The ruler's responsibilities toward the army

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ الْإِمَامُ، ثنا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، ثنا أَبُو الْأَشْهَبِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: عَادَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ الْمُزَنِيَّ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ، فَقَالَ مَعْقِلٌ: إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ بِي حَيَاةً مَا حَدَّثْتُكَ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْتَرْعِيهِ رَعِيَّةً يَمُوتُ يَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ غَاشٌّ لِرَعِيَّتِهِ إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ شَيْبَانَ بْنِ فَرُّوخَ، وَرَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْهَبِ وَرُوِّينَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ الثَّابِتِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا بَعَثَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ أَوْ جَيْشٍ أَوْصَاهُ فِي خَاصَّةِ نَفْسِهِ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرًا ".
Ubaydullah bin Ziyad went to visit Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar al-Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him) in his illness; he passed away in that very illness. Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will narrate a hadith that I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And he said: Had I known that I still had life remaining, I would not have narrated this hadith. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Any servant whom Allah makes the guardian of a people, and he deceives his people, then whenever he dies, Allah has made Paradise forbidden for him."
Sulayman bin Buraydah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched an army and appointed its commander, he would advise him in particular to have taqwa (fear of Allah) and would advise him to treat the Muslims with him well.
