وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِذَا كَانَ أُمَرَاؤُكُمْ خِيَارَكُمْ وَأَغْنِيَاؤُكُمْ سُمَحَاءَكُمْ وَأُمُورُكُمْ شُورَى بَيْنِكُمْ فَظَهْرُ الْأَرْضِ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ بَطْنِهَا. وَإِذَا كَانَ أمراؤكم شِرَاركُمْ وأغنياؤكم بخلاؤكم وَأُمُورُكُمْ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ فَبَطْنُ الْأَرْضِ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ من ظهرهَا» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حديثٌ غَرِيب
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "When your rulers are the best of you and your rich are the most generous of you and your affairs are decided by mutual consultation among you then the surface of the earth is better for you than its belly. When your rulers the worst of you, and your rich are the most niggardly of you, and your affairs are in the hands of your women then the belly of the earth is better for you than its surface." [1]
