TRANCENDENTING DECENTRALISTIC SOVEREIGNTY AND RESPONSIBILITY 7

 

A CLEAN GOVERMENT AS ON

THE PROPER LEGAL WAY OF THE PROPHET

The Messenger

Of Allah PBUH, to you and                         

All of His Creature, 

He said : 

When "A man

from Hadramawt and a man

from Kindah came to the Prophet .

The Hadrami said:

'0 Messenger of Allah, this man

has appropriated some land of

mine that belonged to my father.'

The Kindi said: 'It is my land that is

in my possession; I cultivate it,

and he has no right to it.

' The Prophet PBUH said to the IIarami:

'Do you have any proof?

' He said: 'No.'

He (PBUH) said:

'Then you have his oath.

' He said: '0 Messenger of Allah,

the man is an evildoer and does not care

what oath he swears, he would

not refrain from doing anything.'

He (PBUH) said:

'You have no other choice.

' He (the Kindi) swore the oath,

and when he turned away,

the Messenger of Allah said:

'If he swore an oath in order to

acquire (the other man's)

property unlawfully, when he

meets Allah, He will turn away

from him."

The Sacred Legal Way of The Prophet.
