ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْإِمَامِ لُزُومُ الْعَدْلِ بِالْقِسْمَةِ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَالَهُمْ وَتَرْكُ الْإِغْضَاءِ عَمَّنِ اعْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ

Muhammad, do justice. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Woe be upon thee, who would do justice if I do not do justice, and you would be very unfortunate and a loser if I do not do justice. Upon this Umar b. Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) said: Permit me to kill this hypocrite. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: May there be protection of Allah! People would say that I kill my companions. This man and his companions would recite the Qur'an but it would not go beyond their throat, and they swerve from it just as the arrow goes through the prey.  

أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ مُنْصَرَفَهُ مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ وَفِي ثَوْبِ بِلاَلٍ فِضَّةٌ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْبِضُ مِنْهَا يُعْطِي النَّاسَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ اعْدِلْ قَالَ وَيْلَكَ وَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْدِلُ لَقَدْ خِبْتَ وَخَسِرْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْدِلُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ دَعْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَقْتُلَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقَ فَقَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ أَنِّي أَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابِي إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنْهُ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ  

[Machine] I came with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of Ji'ranah, and he was distributing silver in the garment of Bilal to the people. A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, be just!" He replied, "Woe to you! Who would be just if I am not just? Indeed, you would go astray if I am not just." 'Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah, let me kill this hypocrite!" He said, "May Allah protect me from people saying that I am killing my companions! Verily, he and his companions recite the Qur'an but it does not go beyond their throats or their hearts. They pass through the religion just as an arrow passes through its target."  

جِئْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْجِعْرَانَةِ وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ فِضَّةً فِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ لِلنَّاسِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اعْدِلْ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ وَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ أَعْدِلْ لَقَدْ خِبْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْدِلُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي أَقْتُلْ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقَ فَقَالَ مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ أَنِّي أَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابِي إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ أَوْ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ  

[Machine] "And I heard with my own ears the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing the Ji'ranah and in the cloak of Bilal it was silver. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was holding it for the people to give to them. A man said, 'Be just.' He (the Prophet) said, 'Woe to you! And who would be just if I am not just?' 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said, 'O Messenger of Allah, let me kill this wicked hypocrite.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I seek refuge with Allah that people should say that Muhammad ﷺ kills his companions. Verily, those who recite the Qur'an do not go beyond their throats, but they let it pass like an arrow passes through its target.'"  

وَسَمِعَ أُذُنِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ وَفِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ فِضَّةٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْبِضُهَا لِلنَّاسِ يُعْطِيهِمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ اعْدِلْ قَالَ وَيْلَكَ وَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْدِلُ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَعْنِي أَقْتُلْ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقَ الْخَبِيثَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ أَنِّي أَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابِي إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ  

[Machine] "My ears heard the Messenger of Allah wearing a Yemeni cloak with a silver border, and the Messenger of Allah was holding it, giving it to the people. A man said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, be fair.' He said, 'Woe to you! Who will be just if I am not just? Indeed, you have fallen short and lost if I am not just.' Then 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: 'Let me, O Messenger of Allah, kill this hypocrite.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah forbid that people should say that I kill my companions. Verily, he and his companions recite the Qur'an, but it does not go beyond their throats, like an arrow shot through the target.'"  

وَسَمِعَتْ أُذُنَاي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ وَفِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ فِضَّةٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْبِضُهَا لِلنَّاسِ فَيُعْطِيهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اعْدِلْ قَالَ «وَيْلَكَ فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ أَعْدَلْ؟ لَقَدْ خِبْتَ وَخَسِرْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْدَلُ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ دَعْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَلْأَقْتُلْ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ أَنِّي أَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابِي إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حُلُوقَهُمْ أَوْ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ»

"عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: أَبْصَرَتْ عَيْنَاىَ، وَسَمعَتْ أُذُنَاىَ مِنْ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ وفِى ثَوْبِ بِلاَلٍ فِضَّةٌ، وَرَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَقْبِضُهَا لِلنَّاسِ فَيُعْطِيهِمْ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَارَسُولَ اللهَ اعْدِلْ، قَالَ: وَيْلَكَ فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَم أَعَدِلْ؟ ! لَقَدْ خِبْتُ

وَخَسِرْتُ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْدلُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: دَعْنِى يَارَسُولَ الله فَلأَقْتُل هَذَا الْمُنَافِقَ، فَقَالَ: مَعَاذَ الله أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ أَنِّى أَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابِى، إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ قُلُوبَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ".
