Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Abu al-Tahir, Ahmad ibn 'Amr ibn Sarh, narrated to us: Abdullah ibn Wahb informed us: Mu'awiyah ibn Salih informed me: from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Jubayr: from his father: from Awf ibn Malik, who said: Sahih Muslim 1753a.
The Shaykh : In this hadith is evidence that it is obligatory for the one in authority to defend those under his care, such as the princes and governors. Likewise, if a person is the manager of a school, he must defend its students and its teachers, because he is their guardian, and the disgrace that befalls them befalls him. Likewise, the teacher defends his students; if someone accuses them of something, he defends them, because he is the one responsible and the shepherd, and the accusation that befalls them and defames them befalls him and defames him.

Auf b. Malik has narrated that a man from the Himyar tribe killed an enemy and wanted to take the booty. Khalid b. Walid, who was the commander over them, forbade, him. 'Auf b Malik (the narrator) came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him (to this effect). The latter asked Khalid: What prevented you from giving the booty to him? Khalid said: I thought it was too much. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Hand it over to him. Now when Khalid by Auf, the latter pulled him by his cloak and said (by way of chafing him): Hasn't the same thing happened what I reported to you from the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him)? When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard it. he was angry (and said): Khalid, don't give him, Khalid, don't give him. Are you going to desert the commanders appointed by roe? Your similitude and theirs is like a person who took camels and sheep for grazing. He grazed them and when it was time for them to have a drink, he brought them to a pool. So they drank from it, drinking away its clear water and leaving the turbid water below So the clear water (i. e. the best reward) is for you and the turbid water (i e. blame) is for them.
قتل رجل من حمير رجلا من العدو، فأراد سلبه، فمنعه خالد بن الوليد، وكان واليا عليهم، فأتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عوف بن مالك، فأخبره، فقال لخالد : ما منعك أن تعطيه سلبه ؟ قال: استكثرته يا رسول الله، قال : ادفعه إليه ، فمر خالد بعوف، فجر بردائه، ثم قال : هل أنجزت لك ما ذكرت لك من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ؟، فسمعه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاستغضب، فقال : لا تعطه يا خالد، لا تعطه يا خالد، هل أنتم تاركون لي أمرائي ؟ إنما مثلكم ومثلهم كمثل رجل استرعي إبلا، أو غنما، فرعاها، ثم تحين سقيها، فأوردها حوضا، فشرعت فيه فشربت صفوه، وتركت كدره، فصفوه لكم، وكدره عليهمThe Shaykh : In this hadith is evidence that it is obligatory for the one in authority to defend those under his care, such as the princes and governors.
