English translation

2948. It was reported from Abū Mariam Al-Azdī, who said: "I entered upon Mu'āwiyah, and he said: 'What a good moment this visit of yours is for us O father of so-and-so' — which was a phrase used by the Arabs. I replied: 'It is a Hadīth that I heard, which I will inform you of. I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: "Whomever Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, appoints over some affairs of the Muslims, then he secludes himself (from them) not fulfilling their needs, wants and poverty, Allāh will seclude Himself from his needs, wants and poverty." He said: "He (Mu'āwiyah) then appointed a man to look after the needs of the people." (Hasan)

2948 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَنَّ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُخَيْمِرَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا مَرْيَمَ الْأَزْدِيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَ: مَا أَنْعَمَنَا بِكَ أَبَا فُلَانٍ - وَهِيَ كَلِمَةٌ تَقُولُهَا الْعَرَبُ - فَقُلْتُ: حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ أُخْبِرُكَ بِهِ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ وَلَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَاحْتَجَبَ دُونَ حَاجَتِهِمْ، وَخَلَّتِهِمْ وَفَقْرِهِمْ، احْتَجَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دُونَ حَاجَتِهِ وَخَلَّتِهِ، وَفَقْرِهِ» قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ رَجُلًا عَلَى حَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ
