53. Fighting Rebellion
٥٣۔ كِتَابُ قِتَالِ أَهْلِ الْبَغْيِ
"If there comes to you a man who is respected among his own people, then honor him." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3712)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَاكُمْ كَرِيمُ قَوْمٍ فَأَكْرِمُوهُ
[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ was sent (as a Prophet), I came to him and he said, "O Jarir, why have you come?" I said, "I have come to pledge allegiance to you, O Messenger of Allah." He then threw his cloak over me, turned towards his companions and said, "If a noble person from a tribe comes to you, honor him." And he mentioned the Hadith which contains the phrase, "And he never saw me after that except that he would smile in my face." And there is a witness for this Hadith from the narration of Ash-Sha'bi from the Prophet ﷺ, (who transmitted it).
لَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ يَا جَرِيرُ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ جِئْتَ؟ قَالَ جِئْتُ لِأُسْلِمَ عَلَى يَدَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيَّ كِسَاءَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَقَالَ إِذَا جَاءَكُمْ كَرِيمُ قَوْمٍ فَأَكْرِمُوهُ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ لَا يَرَانِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا تَبَسَّمَ فِي وَجْهِي وَلَهُ شَاهِدٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلًا
[Machine] "People continue to have certain needs and it is important to honor the needs of people. So, it is sufficient for a weak Muslim to be treated fairly and justly in matters of justice and distribution."
لَمْ يَزَلْ لِلنَّاسِ وُجُوهٌ يَرْفَعُونَ حَوَائِجَ النَّاسِ فَأَكْرِمْ وُجُوهَ النَّاسِ فَبِحَسْبِ الْمُسْلِمِ الضَّعِيفِ مِنَ الْعَدْلِ أَنْ يُنْصَفَ فِي الْعَدْلِ وَالْقِسْمَةِ
