Hadith 926
۞
Hadith.5882 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) passed by a group of people lifting a stone and said: "What is this and what drives you to do it?"
They replied: "So we may know who among us is the strongest and most powerful."
Prophet (sw) said: "Shall I not guide you to the strongest and mightiest among you?"
They said: "Yes, O' Messenger of Allah (swt)."
Prophet (sw) said: "The strongest and mightiest among you is the one who, when pleased, is not led by his pleasure into sin or falsehood, and when angry, his anger does not drive him away from speaking the truth, and when he possesses power, he does not take what is not rightfully his."
In another narration, Prophet (sw) added:
"And when he has authority, he does not claim what is not his by right."
5882 - وَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِقَوْمٍ يَتَشَاءَلُونَ حَجَراً فَقَالَ "مَا هَذَا وَ مَا يَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَيْهِ" قَالُوا لِنَعْرِفَ أَشَدَّنَا وَ أَقْوَانَا قَالَ "أَ فَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى أَشَدِّكُمْ وَ أَقْوَاكُمْ" قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ قَالَ "أَشَدُّكُمْ وَ أَقْوَاكُمُ اَلَّذِي إِذَا رَضِيَ لَمْ يُدْخِلْهُ رِضَاهُ فِي إِثْمٍ وَ لاَ بَاطِلٍ وَ إِذَا سَخِطَ لَمْ يُخْرِجْهُ سَخَطُهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ اَلْحَقِّ وَ إِذْ مَلَكَ لَمْ يَتَعَاطَ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ" وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ "وَ إِذَا قَدَرَ لَمْ يَتَعَاطَ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ بِحَقٍّ".
