حَدَّثَنَا هَوْذَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: مَرِضَ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ مَرَضًا ثَقُلَ فِيهِ، فَأَتَاهُ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ يَعُودُهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنِ اسْتُرْعِيَ رَعِيَّةً، فَلَمْ يُحِطْهُمْ بِنَصِيحَةٍ، لَمْ يَجِدْ رِيحَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَرِيحُهَا يُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ "، قَالَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ: أَلَا كُنْتَ حَدَّثْتَنِي بِهَذَا قَبْلَ الْآنَ؟ قَالَ: " وَالْآنَ لَوْلَا الَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكَ بِهِ " (٢)، ،
Translation
English translation
Hasan says that once Ma'qil fell ill and the illness left him exhausted. Ibn Ziyad came to visit him. He said, "I will narrate to you a hadith which I heard from the Prophet (peace be upon him): Whoever is made responsible for the affairs of the people and does not encompass them with goodwill will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise, even though the fragrance of Paradise can be perceived from a distance of one hundred years." So Ibn Ziyad said, "Why did you not narrate this hadith before?" He replied, "If I had not seen you in this position, I would not have narrated this hadith to you."
