[4772] 34 - (1841) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The ruler is a shield from behind whom they fight and by whom they are protected. If he enjoins fear of Allāh and is just, then he will be rewarded for that, but if he enjoins otherwise, that will count against him."
43 - (1841) حَدَّثَنِى زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابةُ، حَدَّثَنِي وَرْقَاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ، يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ، فَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَعَدَلَ، كَانَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ، وَإِنْ يَأْمُرْ بِغَيْرِهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ»
