Riyad Al-Saleh from the words of the Master of Messengers, may God bless him and grant him peace
0:09
Chapter: It is forbidden to ask for the emirate and to choose to leave the governorships if he does not have to or need to do so
0:24
God Almighty said: We assign that home of the Hereafter to those who do not desire exaltation on earth or corruption
0:34
And the outcome is for the righteous
0:37
On the authority of Abu Saeed Abdul Rahman bin Samra, may God be pleased with him, he said
0:44
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, told me
0:48
O Abdul Rahman bin Samra, do not ask the emirate
0:53
If you give it without asking, you will help it
0:58
If you give it to her for a matter and entrust it to her
1:03
If you took an oath and saw another one better than it
1:08
So come to the one who is better and make amends for your oath
1:13
Agreed
1:15
Do not ask for the emirate, meaning do not ask for the caliphate or anything else
1:22
Help her, that is, may God help you by making the right effort and success
1:28
You entrusted it to it, meaning you devoted it to it and entrusted it to yourself
1:34
I swore an oath, meaning I swore to something
1:40
I saw others better than her
1:43
I learned that breaking an oath is better than being faithful to what you swore to do
1:48
Then any act of disbelief came, i.e. payment of expiation
1:54
One of the benefits of the hadith is that it prohibits asking or anticipating anything related to the ruling
2:02
Such as the emirate, the judiciary, hisbah, and public functions
2:07
Because whoever did this was most likely motivated by personal interest
2:13
Therefore, he does not hesitate to fall into sin
2:17
To achieve what he envisioned and requested
2:20
As for the one who fears judgment, he is more likely to seek justice to protect him from falling into sin
2:28
It is permissible to accept this if the Caliph orders him to do so or the people of law and contract appoint him
2:36
The servant cannot succeed except with God’s help and success
2:41
He must request this by starting with his reasons
2:45
Whoever God entrusts to himself is the one who is disappointed and the loser
2:51
It is not permissible to fulfill an oath other than which is more righteous
2:56
It is obligatory to atone for someone who breaks his oath
3:01
This may be done after or before breaking the oath
3:04
The hadith indicates that what is most likely and greatest in legitimate interests is given priority
3:11
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, he said
3:17
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, told me
3:21
O Abaadhar, I see you weak
3:25
And I love for you what I love for myself
3:29
Don't order two
3:32
And do not give us the property of an orphan
3:35
Narrated by Muslim
3:37
Weak
3:39
That is, you do not have the ability to carry out the burdens of guardianship
3:44
Don't order
3:47
That is, do not become a ruler or a prince
3:50
And don't take over
3:52
That is, do not be a guardian
3:54
And do not approach a state
3:56
One of the benefits of talking
4:00
Prohibiting guardianship for someone who knows that he is weak enough to carry out its duties
4:06
It is necessary to preserve the property of an orphan
4:08
Do not eat it unlawfully or waste it
4:14
Islam is keen on the public interest and the money of orphans
4:20
It is obligatory for a Muslim to advise his brother if he sees a defect in him
4:25
A Muslim should love his brother when giving him advice
4:30
To make him feel his sincerity, desire for good, and concern for him
4:35
Of the perfection of love in God
4:39
That a person loves what he loves for his brother
4:43
Increase the responsibility of the emirate and discourage its request
4:48
Because of the heartbreak and remorse it entails on the Day of Resurrection
4:53
Except for the one who gave her her right
4:56
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, he said
5:01
I said, O Messenger of God, do not use me
5:05
He struck his hand on the person who was prostrating, then said
5:09
O Abazar, you are weak
5:12
It is a trust
5:14
On the Day of Resurrection, it will be shame and regret
5:18
Except for those who took it by rights
5:21
He did what he owed
5:24
Narrated by Muslim
5:28
You use me, meaning you make me work on something
5:32
From pronation is the union of the humeral head with the scapula
5:37
Shame and regret
5:39
What a scandal for those who did not do justice to it
5:43
She makes him regret imitating her
5:46
Her right, whoever deserves it
5:50
One of the benefits of talking
5:54
Whoever asks for guardianship will not be given
5:57
Islam does not give leadership to anyone who asks for it, is keen on it, and works on its request
6:04
The people most deserving of it are those who abstain from it and hate it
6:08
Guardianship is a great trust and a serious responsibility
6:14
Whoever is her guardian must take care of her as he should
6:18
And do not betray God's covenant in it
6:21
The merit of the one who assumed the position and was worthy of it

7:27
It was ruined by bitterness’ desire for money and honor for his religion
