The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah will give shade, to seven, on the Day when there will be no shade but His. (These seven persons are) a just ruler, a youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah (i.e. worships Allah sincerely from childhood), a man whose heart is attached to the mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the mosque in congregation), two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only, a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah, a man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity), and a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears." (Using translation from Bukhārī 660)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمُ اللهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ الْإِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ وَرَجُلٌ نَشَأَ بِعِبَادَةِ اللهِ وَرَجُلٌ قَلْبُهُ مُعَلَّقٌ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ وَرَجُلَانِ تَحَابَّا فِي اللهِ اجْتَمَعَا عَلَيْهِ وَتَفَرَّقَا عَلَيْهِ وَرَجُلٌ طَلَبَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللهَ وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَأَخْفَاهَا حَتَّى لَا تَعْلَمَ يَمِينُهُ مَا يُنْفِقُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللهَ خَالِيًا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are three whose supplications are never rejected: the just leader, the fasting person until they break their fast, and the supplication of the oppressed which is carried by the clouds, and the gates of the heavens are opened for it, and the Lord says to it, 'By My might, I will surely aid you, even if it is after a while.' And the conclusion of this passage, and what comes before it, is in the book of Al-Siyar, and then in the book of the etiquettes of the judge."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا تُرَدُّ دَعْوَتُهُمُ الْإِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ وَالصَّائِمُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ وَدَعْوَةُ الْمَظْلُومِ تُحْمَلُ عَلَى الْغَمَامِ وَتُفْتَحُ لَهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَيَقُولُ لَهَا الرَّبُّ وَعِزَّتِي لَأَنْصُرَنَّكِ وَلَوْ بَعْدَ حِينٍ وَتَمَامُ هَذَا الْبَابِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ فِي كِتَابِ السِّيَرِ ثُمَّ فِي كِتَابِ أَدَبِ الْقَاضِي  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A day with a just leader is better than sixty years of worship, and a unified prayer performed on earth is purer therein than forty days of rain."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمٌ مِنْ إِمَامٍ عَادِلٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً وَحَّدٌ يُقَامُ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِحَقِّهِ أَزْكَى فِيهَا مِنْ مَطَرِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا  

[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : A man once came to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, there is a town upon my journey that does not have a ruler, should I enter it?' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'If you come across a town that has no ruler, do not enter it, for the ruler is the shade of Allah on earth, and his spear spreads the rule of Allah on earth.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا مَرَرْتَ بِبَلْدَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا سُلْطَانٌ فَلَا تَدْخُلْهَا إِنَّمَا السُّلْطَانُ ظِلُّ اللهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَرُمْحُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ  

[Machine] That people will not cease to be in good as long as they adhere to their leaders and follow their guidance.  

أَنَّ النَّاسَ لَنْ يَزَالُوا بِخَيْرٍ مَا اسْتَقَامَتْ لَهُمْ وُلَاتُهُمْ وَهُدَاتُهُمْ  

[Machine] Your time is only as good as your authority. When your authority is good, your time is good, and when your authority is corrupt, your time is corrupt.  

إِنَّمَا زَمَانُكُمْ سُلْطَانُكُمْ فَإِذَا صَلَحَ سُلْطَانُكُمْ صَلَحَ زَمَانُكُمْ وَإِذَا فَسَدَ سُلْطَانُكُمْ فَسَدَ زَمَانُكُمْ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Hazim saying, "People will continue to be in a state of goodness as long as these desires do not enter the ruler. They are the ones who protect the people. But once these desires enter them, then who will protect them?  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَازِمٍ يَقُولُ لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا لَمْ تَقَعْ هَذِهِ الْأَهْوَاءُ فِي السُّلْطَانِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَذُبُّونَ عَنِ النَّاسِ فَإِذَا وَقَعَتْ فِيهِمْ فَمَنْ يَذُبُّ عَنْهُمْ  

[Machine] "About his work"  

عَنْ عَمَلِهِ  

[Machine] Abu Abdullah Al-Hafidh informed us that Abu Abdullah Al-San'ani narrated to us, who reported from Ishaq ibn Ibrahim Al-Dabbari, who reported from Abdur-Razzaq, who reported from Ma'mar, who reported from Ibn Tawus, who reported from his father, that Umar ibn Al-Khattab said, "What do you think if I appointed over you the most knowledgeable person and commanded him with justice, would I have fulfilled my responsibility?" They said, "Yes." He said, "No, until I see how he acts and whether he follows my commands or not."  

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ ثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنِ اسْتَعْمَلْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ خَيْرَ مَنْ أَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ أَمَرْتُهُ بِالْعَدْلِ أَقَضَيْتُ مَا عَلَيَّ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ فِي عَمَلِهِ أَعَمِلَ بِمَا أَمَرْتُهُ أَوْ لَا
