"نعْمَ الشَّئُ الإِمَارَةُ لِمنْ أَخَذَهَا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِلِّهَا، وَبِئْسَ الَّشْئُ الإِمَارةُ لِمَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِغَيرِ حَقِّهَا، فَتَكُونُ عَلَيهِ حَسْرَةً".

أَنَّهُ قَالَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِئْسَ الشَّيْءُ الْإِمَارَةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «نِعْمَ الشَّيْءُ الْإِمَارَةُ لِمَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِحَقِّهَا وحَلَّهَا وَبِئْسَ الشَّيْءُ الْإِمَارَةُ لِمَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهَا فَتَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ حَسْرَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
