اُردوEn
قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " وَلَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُوَلِّيَ الْإِمَامُ الْغَزْوَ إِلَّا ثِقَةً فِي دِينِهِ، شُجَاعًا بِبَدَنِهِ، حَسَنَ الْأَنَاةِ، عَاقِلًا لِلْحَرْبِ بَصِيرًا بِهَا، غَيْرَ عَجِلٍ وَلَا نَزِقٍ، وَيَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى مَهْلَكَةٍ بِحَالٍ ".
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It is not proper for the Imam to entrust the command of a military expedition to anyone except a person who is trustworthy in his religion, physically brave, forbearing and patient, with understanding of war and insight into it, not hasty and not rash (impetuous); and the Imam should instruct him beforehand that he must not, under any circumstances, push the Muslims into a place of destruction."
