[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "People must have a just or oppressive rule. As for the just rule, it is fair in its division and benefits you equally. As for the oppressive rule, it is a trial for the believer. And a corrupt rule is better than chaos." It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is chaos?" He said, "Killing and lying."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا بُدَّ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ إِمَارَةٍ بَرَّةٍ أَوْ فَاجِرَةٍ فَأَمَّا الْبَرَّةُ فَتَعْدِلُ فِي الْقَسْمِ وَيُقْسَمُ بَيْنَكُمْ فَيْؤُكُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَأَمَّا الْفَاجِرَةُ فَيُبْتَلَى فِيهَا الْمُؤْمِنُ وَالْإِمَارَةُ الْفَاجِرَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْهَرْجِ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الْهَرْجُ؟ قَالَ «الْقَتْلُ وَالْكَذِبُ»
