The Book of Jihad, Expeditions, and Authority-08a

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Zuhayr ibn Harb and Ishaq ibn Ibrahim both narrated from al-Muqri'. Zuhayr said: Abdullah ibn Yazid narrated to us, and Sa'id ibn Abi Ayyub narrated to us from Ubayd Allah ibn Abi Ja'far al-Qurashi, from Salim ibn Abi Salim al-Jayshani, from his father, from Abu Dharr, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I see that you are weak, Abu Dharr, and I wish for you what I wish for myself. Do not accept rule over two people and do not become guardian of an orphan’s property. يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، إِنِّي أَرَاكَ ضَعِيفًا، وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ لَكَ مَا أُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِي، لَا تَأَمَّرَنَّ عَلَى اثْنَيْنِ، وَلَا تَوَلَّيَنَّ مَالَ يَتِيمٍ
Mishkat al-Masabih 3682
.

The Shaykh :
I find that thou art weak and I like for thee what I like for myself إني أراك ضعيفاً، وإني أحب لك ما أحب لنفسي
Sahih Muslim 1826
to make light of his status, then he elevated his rank, making light of his status in his saying:
I see that you are a weak man. إني أراك رجلاً ضعيفاً
, and elevating his degree in his saying:
I like for thee what I like for myself إني أحب لك ما أحب لنفسي
Sahih Muslim 1826
. And we bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) loves for the Muslims what he loves for himself, for he is the one who said:
None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself. لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه
Sahih al-Bukhari 13
, and he is the most perfect of people in faith.
In this is evidence of the frankness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and in it is a virtue for Abu Dharr, where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: I love for you what I love for myself. For this is among the virtues of a man, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him):
By Allah, I love you, Mu'adh. I give some instruction to you. Never leave to recite this supplication after every (prescribed) prayer: "O Allah, help me in remembering You, in giving You thanks, and worshipping You well." يا معاذ إني لأحبك لا تدعن دُبُر كل صلاة مكتوبة تقول : اللهم أعني على ذكرك وشكرك، وحسن عبادتك
Sunan Abi Dawud 1522Sahih (Al-Albani)
.
He said:
Do not accept a position of Amir over two people لا تأمّرن على اثنين
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3667Sahih (Darussalam)
It appears that one person does not need a leader, because dispute only occurs between two, two or more. So these two disputants need a leader to adjudicate between them. Therefore he said:
Do not accept a position of Amir over two people لا تأمرنّ على اثنين
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3667Sahih (Darussalam)
. As for one person, he does not need a leader because he has no opponent.
and do not manage the property of an orphan ولا تولّين مال يتيم
Sahih Muslim 1826
For this reason he said:
do not manage the property of an orphan لا تولّين مال يتيم
Sahih Muslim 1826
.
