[Machine] Indeed, I will tell you a story that I have not told you before. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Allah does not entrust a servant with the care of people, and then he dies on the day he dies while deceitful to them, except that Allah has forbidden Paradise for him."  

أحمد:٢٠٢٩١حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ اشْتَكَى فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ

أَمَا إِنِّي سَأُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا لَمْ أَكُنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ بِهِإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَسْتَرْعِي اللهُ عَبْدًا رَعِيَّةً فَيَمُوتُ يَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ لَهَا غَاشٌّ إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If any ruler having the authority to rule Muslim subjects dies while he is deceiving them, Allah will forbid Paradise for him."  

البخاري:٧١٥١حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ أَخْبَرَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْجُعْفِيُّ قَالَ زَائِدَةُ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ نَعُودُهُ فَدَخَلَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ

لَهُ مَعْقِلٌ أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْ وَالٍ يَلِي رَعِيَّةً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَمُوتُ وَهْوَ غَاشٌّ لَهُمْ إِلاَّ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ

Ubaidullah b Ziyad visited Ma'qil b. Yasir al-Muzani in his last iliness. Ma'qil said (to him): I am narrating to you a tradition I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If I knew that I am to survive this illness. I would, not narrate it to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If God appointed anyone ruler over a people and he died while he was still treacherous to his people, God would forbid his entry into Paradise.

'Ubaidullah b. Ziyad paid a visit to Ma'qil b. Yasar Muzani in his illness of which he (later on) died. (At this juncture) Ma'qil said: I am going to narrate to you a hadith which I have heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and which I would not have transmitted if I knew that I would survive. Verily I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There is none amongst the bondsmen who was entrusted with the affairs of his subjects and he died in such a state that he was dishonest in his dealings with those over whom he ruled that the Paradise is not forbidden for him.  

مسلم:١٤٢aحَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَشْهَبِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ عَادَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ الْمُزَنِيَّ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ قَالَ

Ubaidullah b. Ziyad went to see Ma'qil b. Yasir and he was ailing. He ('Ubaidullah) inquired (about his health) to which he (Ma'qil) replied: I am narrating to you a hadith which I avoided narrating to you (before). Verily the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed: Allah does not entrust to his bondsman the responsibility of managing the affairs of his subjects and he dies as a dishonest (ruler) but Paradise is forbidden by Allah for such a (ruler). He (Ibn Ziyad) said: Why did you not narrate it to me before this day? He replied: I (in fact) did not narrate it to you as it was not (fit) for me to narrate that to you.  

مسلم:١٤٢bحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ دَخَلَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَلَى مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَهُوَ وَجِعٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ

إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا لَمْ أَكُنْ حَدَّثْتُكَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَسْتَرْعِي اللَّهُ عَبْدًا رَعِيَّةً يَمُوتُ حِينَ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ غَاشٌّ لَهَا إِلاَّ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ أَلاَّ كُنْتَ حَدَّثْتَنِي هَذَا قَبْلَ الْيَوْمِ قَالَ مَا حَدَّثْتُكَ أَوْ لَمْ أَكُنْ لأُحَدِّثَكَ
