حُمَيْدُ بْنُ ثَوْرٍ الْهِلَالِيُّ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used a man for a mission, and when he returned to him, he asked him, "How did you find the authority (leadership)?" The man replied, "I was like some people, whenever I rode, they rode, and whenever I stopped, they stopped." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the companion of the ruler is at the door of a collapse, except for those whom Allah protects." The man said, "By Allah, I will not work for you or anyone else forever." The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his molar teeth showed.  

اسْتَعْمَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ فَلَمَّا مَضَى وَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ «كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَ الْإِمَارَةَ؟» فَقَالَ كُنْتُ كَبَعْضِ الْقَوْمِ كُنْتُ إِذَا رَكِبْتُ رَكِبُوا وَإِذَا نَزَلَتُ نَزَلُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ صَاحِبَ السُّلْطَانِ عَلَى بَابِ عَنَتٍ إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَ اللهُ ﷻ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَاللهِ لَا أَعْمَلُ لَكَ وَلَا لِغَيْرِكَ أَبَدًا فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ
