Azami 7615

Ahmad (20433) and Tirmidhi (2224) both narrated it through Humayd bin Mihran, from Saeed bin Aws, from Ziyad bin Kusayb Adawi, from Abu Bakra, who mentioned it. The wording given here is Ahmad's, while Tirmidhi's version opens with a story.Ziyad bin Kusayb Adawi said, "I was with Abu Bakra beneath the pulpit of Ibn Amir while he was delivering a sermon, wearing thin garments. Abu Bilal said, 'Look at our governor, wearing the clothes of the immoral.' Abu Bakra said, 'Be quiet. I heard the Messenger of Allah say, "Whoever humiliates the authority of Allah on earth, Allah will humiliate him."'"Tirmidhi said, "This is a hasan gharib hadith."I say, in its chain is Ziyad bin Kusayb Adawi, whose reliability is not reported from anyone other than Ibn Hibban, which is why Ibn Hajar said in Taqrib, "Acceptable," meaning when corroborated. Also in it is Saeed bin Aws, who is Adawi. Abu Hatim said of him, "Sound." Saji said, "Truthful," and Ibn Hibban listed him in Thiqat. Ibn Main deemed him daif.However, it has another route. Ibn Abu Asim narrated it in Sunnah (1059) from Muhammad bin Ali bin Maymun, who said, Musa bin Dawud narrated to us, who said, Ibn Lahia narrated to us, from Abu Marhum, from a man of Banu Adi, from Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Bakra, from his father, who said, "Whoever honors the authority of Allah, Allah will honor him on the Day of Resurrection."This is mawquf, and in its chain is Ibn Lahia, who has poor memory, and the man from Adi is unnamed. On the whole, though, it is acceptable for corroboration.It was also narrated, as a raised report, from a man of Banu Salim, "Beware of the doors of the ruler, for it has become difficult." Bayhaqi narrated it in Shuab (8958, Rushd edition) and others, but it is not sound in either its chain or its text.
