أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مِمَّا حَدَّثَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مِمَّا ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَعَدَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَجْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِغَيْرِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرًا .

If he enjoins fear of Allah and behaves justly, then he will be rewarded, but if he enjoins otherwise, then it will be a burden (of sin) on him.
