Hadiths Of To not Seclude Oneself [Away from One's Subjects]

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

مَن تَولّى أمرا مِن امورِالنّاسِ، فعَدَلَ، وفَتَحَ بابَهُ، ورَفَعَ سِترَهُ، ونَظَرَ في امورِ النّاسِ، كانَ حَقّا علَى اللّهِ أن يُؤمِنَ رَوعَتَهُ يَومَ القِيامَةِ ويُدخِلَهُ الجَنَّةَ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Whoever takes up any of the affairs of people and is just, opens his door, uncovers his veils, and fulfills the needs of people, it will become the right of Allah to save him from fear on the Day of Judgment and make him enter Heaven.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام من كِتابِهِ للأشتَرِ لَمّا وَلّاهُ مِصرَ: فلا تُطَوِّلَنَّ احتِجابَكَ عَن رَعِيَّتِكَ، فإنَّ احتِجابَ الوُلاةِ عَن الرَّعِيَّةِ شُعبَةٌ مِن الضِّيقِ، وقِلَّةُ عِلمٍ بالامورِ، والاحتِجابُ مِنهُم يَقطَعُ عَنهُم عِلمَ ما احتَجَبوا دُونَهُ، فيَصغُرُ عِندَهُمُ الكَبيرُ، ويَعظُمُ الصَّغيرُ، ويَقبُحُ الحَسَنُ، ويَحسُنُ القَبيحُ، ويُشابُ الحَقُّ بِالباطِلِ ....

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (as), in his letter to Malik al-Ashtar when he appointed him governor of Egypt, said, Do not keep yourself secluded from the people for a long time, because the seclusion of those in authority from the subjects is a kind of narrow-sightedness and causes ignorance about their affairs. Seclusion from them also prevents them from the knowledge of those things which they are unaware of and as a result they begin to regard big matters as small and small matters as big, good matters as bad and bad matters as good, while the truth becomes confused with falsehood.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

عنه عليه السلام مِن كِتابِهِ للأشتَرِ لَمّا وَلّاهُ مِصرَ: ثُمّ تَفَقَّدْ أعمالَهُم، وابعَثِ العُيونَ مِن أهلِ الصِّدقِ والوَفاءِ علَيهِم، فإنَّ تَعاهُدَكَ في السِّرِّ لُامورِهِم حَدوَةٌ لَهُم على استِعمالِ الأمانَةِ، والرِّفقِ بِالرَّعِيَّةِ. وتَحَفَّظْ مِن الأعوانِ، فإن أحَدٌ مِنهُم بَسَطَ يَدَهُ إلى خِيانَةٍ اجتَمَعَت بِها علَيهِ عِندَكَ أخبارُ عُيونِكَ، اكتَفَيتَ بذلكَ شاهِدا، فبَسَطتَ علَيهِ العُقوبَةَ في بَدَنِهِ، وأخَذتَهُ بما أصابَ مِن عَمَلِهِ، ثُمّ نَصَبتَهُ بمَقامِ المَذَلَّةِ، ووَسَمتَهُ بِالخِيانَةِ، وقَلَّدتَهُ عارَ التُّهَمَةِ.

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (AS), in his letter to Malik al-Ashtar when he appointed him governor of Egypt, said, Then you should check their activities and have people report on them, who should be truthful and faithful, because your watching their actions secretly will urge them to preserve trust with and be kind to the people. Be careful of assistants. If any one of them extends his hands towards misappropriation and the reports of your reporters reaching you confirm it, they should be regarded as enough evidence. You should then inflict corporal punishment on him and recover what he has misappropriated. You should put him in a place of disgrace, blacklist him with [the charge of] misappropriation and make him wear the necklace of shame for his offence.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام فيما كَتبَ للأشتَرِ لمَّا وَلّاهُ مِصرَ: ثُمّ انظُرْ في امورِ عُمّالِكَ، فاستَعمِلْهُمُ اختِبارا، ولا تُوَلِّهِم مُحاباةً وأثَرَةً؛ فإنَّهُما جِماعٌ مِن شُعَبِ الجَورِ والخِيانَةِ. وتَوَخَّ مِنهُم أهلَ التَّجرِبَةِ والحَياءِ مِن أهلِ البُيوتاتِ الصّالِحَةِ، والقَدَمِ في الإسلامِ المُتَقَدِّمَةِ.

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (as), in his letter to Malik al-Ashtar when he appointed him governor of Egypt, said, Thereafter, look into the affairs of your executives. Give them appointment after tests and do not appoint them according to partiality or favouritism, because these two things constitute the sources of injustice and unfairness. Select from among them those who are people of experience and modesty, hailing from virtuous houses, having preceded in [embracing] Islam.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

مَنِ استَعمَلَ رجُلًا مِن عِصابَةٍ، وفِيهِم مَن هُو أرضى للّهِ مِنهُ، فَقَد خانَ اللّهَ ورَسولَهُ والمُؤمنينَ.

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

Whoever employs a worker from a group wherein someone else is more content with Allah than him [the person he chose], then he has betrayed Allah, His Messenger and the believers.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

ثَلاثَةٌ تَجِبُ على السُّلطانِ لِلخاصَّةِ والعامَّةِ: مُكافأةُ المُحسِنِ بالإحسانِ لِيَزدادُوا رَغبَةً فيهِ، وتَغَمُّدُ ذُنوبِ المُسي ءِ لِيَتُوبَ ويَرجِعَ عَن غَيِّهِ (عَتبِهِ)، وتَألُّفُهُم جَميعا بالإحسانِ والإنصافِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

There are three things that are obligatory for a governor, both towards the elite and the general public: rewarding the good-doer with goodness so that he increases in his desire to perform it, forgiving the sins of the wrongful so that he can repent and return from his rebellion, and encompassing all people with goodness and fairness.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

عنه عليه السلام مِن كِتابِهِ للأشتَرِ لَمّا وَلّاهُ مِصرَ: أنصِفِ اللّهَ وأنصِفِ النّاسَ مِن نَفِسكَ، ومِن خاصَّةِ أهلِكَ، ومَن لَكَ فيهِ هَوىً مِن رَعِيَّتِكَ؛ فإنَّكَ إلّا تَفعَلْ تَظلِمْ.

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (AS), in his letter to Malik al-Ashtar when he appointed him governor of Egypt, said, Be just to Allah and do justice towards the people, as against yourself, your near ones and those of your subjects for whom you have a liking, because if you do not do so, you will be oppressive.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام مِن كِتابِهِ للأشتَرِ لَمّا وَلّاهُ مِصرَ: إنّما يُستَدَلُّ علَى الصّالِحينَ بِما يُجري اللّهُ لَهُم على ألسُنِ عِبادِهِ، فلْيَكُن أحَبَّ الذَّخائرِ إلَيكَ ذَخيرَةُ العَمَلِ الصّالِحِ، فاملِكْ هَواكَ، وشُحَّ بِنَفسِكَ عَمّا لا يَحِلُّ لَكَ؛ فإنَّ الشُّحَّ بِالنَّفسِ الإنصافُ مِنها فيما أحَبَّت أو كَرِهَت.

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (AS), in his letter to Malik al-Ashtar when he appointed him governor of Egypt, said, Surely the virtuous are known by the reputation that Allah circulates for them through the tongues of His creatures. Therefore, the best collection with you should be the collection of good deeds. So control your passions and deprive your heart from doing what is not lawful for you, because depriving the heart means detaining it just half way between what it likes and dislikes.
