[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.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَعَثَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى جَيْشٍ أَوْصَاهُ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ فِي خَاصَّةِ نَفْسِهِ وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرًا وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ وَإِذَا حَاصَرْتَ أَهْلَ حِصْنٍ فَأَرَادُوكَ أَنْ تُنْزِلَهُمْ عَلَى حُكْمِ اللهِ فَلَا تُنْزِلْهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي أَتُصِيبُ حُكْمَ اللهِ أَمْ لَا زَادَ فِيهِ وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ وَلَكِنْ أَنْزِلُوهُمْ عَلَى حُكْمِكُمْ ثُمَّ اقْضُوا فِيهِمْ بَعْدُ مَا شِئْتُمْ 18187 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ ثنا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ فَذَكَرَهُ
