أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي سَالِمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنِّي أَرَاکَ ضَعِيفًا وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ لَکَ مَا أُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِي لَا تَأَمَّرَنَّ عَلَی اثْنَيْنِ وَلَا تَوَلَّيَنَّ عَلَی مَالِ يَتِيمٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3702
It was narrated that Abu pharr said: “The Messenger of Allah said to me: ‘Abu Dharr, I think that you are weak, and I like for you what I like for myself. Do not accept a position of AmIr over two people, and do not agree to be the guardian of an orphan’s property.” (Sahih)
