The Shaykh : It contains many benefits, among which is that whoever takes charge of the affairs of the people will not be safe from them, no matter what his status is; he is bound to be afflicted with evil. For this reason, Ibn al-Wardi said in his famous poem, which begins with:
"Abstain from mentioning songs and love poetry *** And speak the truth and avoid those who joke
And leave behind the memory of the days of youth *** For the days of youth are a star that has set"
Among the wisdom he said in it is:
"Half of the people are enemies of the one *** Who holds the authority of judgment, even if he is just"
Among the benefits is also the permissibility of the oppressed person supplicating against his oppressor with what he was wronged by, as Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) supplicated with these supplications against those who wronged him. Among its benefits is that Allah the Exalted answers the supplication of the oppressed person, and for this reason the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to Mu'adh ibn Jabal when he sent him to Yemen and ordered him to take zakah from their wealth:Sahih Muslim 19a So the oppressed person's supplication is answered by Allah even if he is a disbeliever; even if he is a disbeliever who is wronged and supplicates to Allah against the one who wronged him, Allah answers his supplication, because Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is a just Judge who takes justice and fairness for the one who is wronged, even if he is a disbeliever. How much more so if he is a Muslim? Among the benefits of this hadith is that it is permissible for a person to make a conditional supplication when supplicating against a person; he makes a condition and says: "O Allah, if such and such is the case, then do such and such to him. O Allah, if he has wronged me, then give me justice against him, or afflict him with such and such." You supplicate with what wronged you. The conditional supplication has come in the Noble Qur'an, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said: [An-Nur 24:6-9] Among the benefits of this hadith is also the concern of the Commander of the Faithful, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), for the subjects, his bearing of responsibility, his feeling for it, and his awareness of it (may Allah be pleased with him). For this reason, he became famous for his justice and good policy in all matters, whether military, peaceful, religious, or worldly. In reality, he is the best of the caliphs after Abu Bakr; indeed, he is one of the good deeds of Abu Bakr, because the one who appointed him over the Muslims was Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). So the result is that this hadith contains benefits, and we will limit ourselves to these.
