[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to admonish the commander of an army to fear Allah in his personal life and in relation to the Muslims under his command. He mentioned in a hadith, "And when you besiege a fort, and they want you to judge by the judgment of Allah, do not judge by it, for you do not know if the judgment of Allah may befall or not. Waki' reported from Sufyan that they should instead be judged by your own judgment, and then you can decide what you wish." Abu Ali al-Rudhbari informed us that Abu Bakr ibn Dasa narrated to him, who narrated from Abu Dawud, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Sulaiman al-Anbari, who narrated from Waki' from Sufyan, who mentioned this.
