Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا سُكَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارُ بْنُ سَلَامَةَ سَمِعَ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِذَا اسْتُرْحِمُوا رَحِمُوا وَإِذَا عَاهَدُوا وَفَوْا وَإِذَا حَكَمُوا عَدَلُوا فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ.
English Translation
Sulayman ibn Dawud told us: Sukayn told us: Sayyar ibn Salamah told us: He heard Abu Barzah relate it, raising it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "The leaders are from Quraysh: when they are asked for mercy, they show mercy; when they make a covenant, they fulfill it; and when they judge, they are just. Whoever among them does not do that, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people."
