The Ethics of Leadership

Hadith of the Day is a daily feature highlighting timeless sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the Ahlul-Bayt (pbut), offering insights into faith, ethics, and spirituality for contemporary life.

Hawzah News Agency- Imam Baqir (a.s) said:

إِنَّ الْإِمَامَهَ لَا تَصْلُحُ إِلَّا لِرَجُلٍ فِیهِ ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ وَرَعٌ یَحْجُزُهُ عَنِ الْمَحَارِمِ وَ حِلْمٌ یَمْلِکُ بِهِ غَضَبَهُ وَ حُسْنُ الْخِلَافَهِ عَلَی مَنْ وُلِّیَ حَتَّی یَکُونَ لَهُ کَالْوَالِدِ الرَّحِیمِ.

Leadership is only suitable for a man who possesses three qualities: piety (wara’) that restrains him from forbidden acts, forbearance (hilm) with which he controls his anger, and excellent stewardship over those he rules, such that he is like a merciful father to them.

Al-Khisal,Book 3,Hadith 97
