Foreword

Whenever God makes a man responsible for other people, whether in greater or lesser numbers, he will be questioned as to whether he ruled his charges in accordance with God’s decrees or not. And that will not be all. God will question him even about his family members. HADITH OF AHMAD IBN HANBAL ON THE AUTHORITY OF ‘ABDULLAH IBN ‘UMAR. 87 If you show kindness to your servant while employing him in some task, this will weigh heavily in your favour on the Day of Judgement. That will be your reward. HADITH OF ‘AMR IBN HURAYTH.
