حديث مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ زِيَادٍ عَادَ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَعْقِلٌ: إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ اسْتَرْعَاهُ اللهُ رَعِيَةً فَلَمْ يَحُطْهَا بِنَصِيحَةٍ إِلَاّ لَمْ يَجِدْ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ.
Ma'qil bin Yasar Narrated from:
I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "Any 'Abd (a slave or a man) whom Allâh has given the authority of ruling some people and he does not look after them in an honest manner, will never have even the smell of Paradise." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 264, Vol. 9)
