ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ أَنْ يَسْلُكَ الْولَاةُ فِي رَعِيَّتِهِمْ بِمَا لَمْ يَأْذَنْ بِهِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ﷺ

[Machine] One day, while Abu Darda was walking alone away from the army, he met two men who were also apart from the army. He said, "O you two, there have never been three people in this place except that they were commanded upon. So one of you should take charge." They replied, "You, O Abu Darda." He said, "No, it is you two. I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'There is no guardian of three except that he will be met by Allah on the Day of Judgment, with his right hand tied to his neck. Either He will loosen his justice or bring his injustice upon him'."  

بَيْنَا أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يَوْمًا يَسِيرُ شَاذًّا مِنَ الْجَيْشِ إِذْ لَقِيَهُ رَجُلَانِ شَاذَانِ مِنَ الْجَيْشِ فَقَالَ يَا هَذَانِ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ ثَلَاثَةٌ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ إِلَّا أُمَّرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَلْيَتَأَمَّرْ أَحَدُكُمْ قَالَا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتُمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ وَالِي ثَلَاثَةٍ إِلَّا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ مَغْلُولَةَ يَمِينُهُ فَكَّهُ عَدْلُهُ أَوْ غَلَّهُ جَورُهُ»
