Hadith #443
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ قَالَ
أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَقَالَتْ أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي بَيْتِي هَذَا اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ أُمَّتِي شَيْئًا فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَاشْقُقْ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ أُمَّتِي شَيْئًا فَرَفَقَ بِهِمْ فَارْفُقْ بِهِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that someone came to her asking about something, and she said: "I will inform you of what I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say in this house of mine: 'O Allah, whoever is given authority over any matter of my ummah and causes them hardship, make it hard for him. And whoever is given authority over any matter of my ummah and is gentle with them, be gentle with him.'"
