[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "The best of the leaders of the armies is Zaid bin Harithah; he is fair and just with his subjects." This is in his narration from Al-Waqidi.  

الحاكم:٤٩٥٥ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ بَطَّةَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنِي عَائِذُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي الْحُوَيْرِثِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ «خَيْرُ أُمَرَاءِ السَّرَايَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ أَقْسَمُهُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَأَعْدَلُهُمْ فِي الرَّعِيَّةِ» في سنده الواقدي
