One who takes on a responsibility is accountable for the employees under his authority

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Is it obligatory for one who takes on a responsibility and has employees under his authority to order those among them who are negligent in prayer to perform it, and likewise other matters of the Shari'ah? And does this fall under the hadith:
All of you are guardians and are responsible for your wardsكلكم راع وكلكم مسئول عن رعيته
Sahih al-Bukhari 5200
?

Answer: It is obligatory for every person in authority to order the employees under his authority to do what Allah has made obligatory upon them, such as performing the prayer in congregation, fulfilling the trust in their job, and leaving what Allah has forbidden them, such as deception, betrayal, harming petitioners and oppressing them, and other such things. This falls under his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
All of you are guardians and are responsible for your wardsكلكم راع، وكلكم مسئول عن رعيته
Sahih al-Bukhari 5200
, narrated by al-Bukhari in his Sahih from the hadith of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both).
