حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي وَرْقَاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا الإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ فَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَعَدَلَ كَانَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ وَإِنْ يَأْمُرْ بِغَيْرِهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: It has been

English translation
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: A commander (of the Muslims) is a shield for them. They fight behind him and they are protected by (him from tyrants and aggressors). If he enjoins fear of God, the Exalted and Glorious, and dispenses justice, there will be a (great) reward for him; and if he enjoins otherwise, it redounds on him
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবরাহীম (রহঃ) ..... আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাযিঃ) এর সূত্রে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, ইমাম বা শাসক ঢাল স্বরূপ। তার নেতৃত্বে যুদ্ধ করা হয় এবং শত্রুর ক্ষতি থেকে নিষ্কৃতি পাওয়া যায়। সে যদি তাকওয়া বা আল্লাহভীতি ও ন্যায় বিচারের ভিত্তিতে শাসনকার্য পরিচালনা করে, তবে তার জন্য সে পুরস্কৃত হবে। আর যদি ন্যায় ব্যতীত অন্য কিছু আদেশ করে তবে সে পাপের জন্য দায়ী হবে। (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন ৪৬২০, ইসলামিক সেন্টার)
