ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْإِمَامَ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ الَّتِي هُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَاعي
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. The amir (ruler) who is over the people is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock; a man is a shepherd in charge of the inhabitants of his household and he is responsible for his flock; a woman is a shepherdess in charge of her husband's house and children and she is responsible for them; and a man's slave is a shepherd in charge of his master's property and he is responsible for it. So each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2928)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ فَالْأَمِيرُ الَّذِي عَلَى النَّاسِ رَاعٍ عَلَيْهِمْ وَهُوَ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْهُمْ وَالرَّجُلُ رَاعِي أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْهُمْ وَالْمَرْأَةُ رَاعِيَةٌ عَلَى بَيْتِ بَعْلِهَا وَوَلَدِهِ وَهِيَ مَسْؤُولَةٌ عَنْهُمْ وَعَبْدُ الرَّجُلِ رَاعٍ عَلَى مَالِ سَيِّدِهِ وَهُوَ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْهُ فَكُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وكُلُّكُمْ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ»
