Ibara ya 47
Article 47
Ikiwa msaidizi amefanya jambo, na Khalifa akamwamuru kulitekeleza, basi lazima alitekeleze kama alivyoamriwa na Khalifa, bila nyongeza wala upunguzaji. Ikiwa Khalifa atarudi kupinga kitendo cha msaidizi alichokwisha kukitekeleza, basi jambo hilo litachunguzwa: ikiwa lilikuwa ni hukumu aliyoitekeleza ipasavyo, au mali aliyoiweka mahali pake pa haki, basi maoni ya msaidizi yanatekelezwa, kwa kuwa kimsingi ni maoni ya Khalifa, na Khalifa hawezi kubatilisha yale aliyoyatekeleza mwenyewe katika hukumu na matumizi ya mali. Ikiwa kitendo alichokitekeleza msaidizi kilihusu jambo jingine, kama kumteua gavana au kuandaa jeshi, basi inaruhusiwa kwa Khalifa kupinga kitendo cha msaidizi, maoni ya Khalifa yanatekelezwa, na vitendo vya msaidizi vinafutwa, kwa sababu Khalifa ana haki ya kurekebisha kitendo chake mwenyewe, hivyo anaweza kurekebisha vitendo vya msaidizi.
If the assistant conducted an issue, and the Khalifah ordered him to do it, then he must implement it as the Khalifah ordered him to do so, without any addition or deletion. If the Khalifah returned to oppose the assistant rejecting what he has already executed, then the matter is examined; if it was a rule that he had implemented properly, or wealth that he placed in of its right place, then the opinion of the assistant is implemented, since it is in origin the opinion of the Khalifah, and the Khalifah cannot revoke what he himself had implemented of rules and spent of wealth. If what the assistant had executed was in anything else, such as appointing a governor or preparation of an army, then it is permitted for the Khalifah to oppose the assistant, and the opinion of the Khalifah is implemented, and the actions of the assistant are cancelled because the Khalifah has the right to redress his own action so he may redress the actions of the assistant.
Makala haya yanaeleza jinsi msaidizi anavyotekeleza kazi yake, na jinsi Khalifah anavyochunguza matendo ya msaidizi. Yanatokana na yale ambayo Khalifah anaruhusiwa kubatilisha, na yale asiyoruhusiwa kubatilisha katika matendo hayo, kwa kuwa tendo la msaidizi linachukuliwa kuwa tendo la Khalifah. Sababu ya hilo ni kwamba msaidizi anaruhusiwa kutoa hukumu kwa kujitegemea, kama ilivyo kwa Khalifah, kwa kuwa sharti za kutoa hukumu zinapatikana ndani yake. Pia anaruhusiwa kuangalia mambo ya Madhalim (dhuluma) na kuwateua wengine kuyashughulikia, kwa kuwa sharti za Madhalim zinapatikana ndani yake. Anaruhusiwa kushiriki Jihad mwenyewe na kuwawezesha wale watakaoshiriki, kwa kuwa sharti za vita zinapatikana ndani yake. Vilevile anaruhusiwa kutekeleza mambo binafsi au kumteua mwingine wa kuyatekeleza, kwa kuwa sharti za maoni na uendeshaji wa mambo zinapatikana ndani yake. Hata hivyo, hii haimaanishi kwamba si sahihi kwa Khalifah kufuta chochote anachotekeleza msaidizi, mradi taarifa imeshamfikia. Badala yake, maana yake ni kwamba msaidizi anamiliki yale mamlaka ya lazima ambayo Khalifah anayo, lakini hayo ni kwa niaba ya Khalifah na si kwa kujitegemea mbali naye.
This article is a description of how the assistant carries out his work, and how the Khalifah scrutinises the actions of the assistant, and this is taken from what is permitted for the Khalifah to reverse, and what is not permitted for him to reverse from the actions, since the action of the assistant is considered to be the action of the Khalifah. The explanation for this is that the assistant is permitted to rule independently, as is the Khalifah, since the conditions for ruling are considered in him, and it is permitted for him to look into the Madhalim (injustices) and to appoint others to look into them, since the condition for the Madhalim are considered in him, and he is permitted to undertake the Jihad by himself and to empower those who will undertake it, since the conditions of war are considered in him, and he is permitted to undertake the implementation of the issues personally or to appoint someone else to implement them since the conditions of opinion and management of affairs are considered in him. However, this does not mean that it is not correct for the Khalifah to cancel whatever the assistant carries out as long as the report has been raised to him, rather what it means is that he possesses what the Khalifah does in terms of mandatory powers, but this is on behalf of the Khalifah and not independent of him.
Kwa hiyo, inaruhusiwa kwa Khalifah kupinga kazi ya msaidizi wake kwa kukataa alichokifanya na kubatilisha kile kilichotekelezwa, lakini ndani ya mipaka ya yale ambayo Khalifah anaruhusiwa kuyabatilisha kama angekuwa amefanya mwenyewe. Kwa hiyo, ikiwa msaidizi alikuwa ametekeleza kanuni kwa njia sahihi, au alitoa mali mahali ilipohitajika, kisha Khalifah akaja na kupinga kazi ya msaidizi baada ya utekelezaji wake, basi upinzani wake hauna thamani; bali kitendo cha msaidizi kinaendelea kutekelezwa, na maoni na upinzani wa Khalifah vinakataliwa, kwa kuwa kimsingi ni maoni yake, na katika mambo yanayofanana na haya haifai kwake kubadili maoni yake mwenyewe au kubatilisha utekelezaji wowote uliokamilika. Kwa hiyo, haifai kwake kubatilisha kitendo cha msaidizi wake katika mambo haya. Ikiwa msaidizi alimteua gavana, msimamizi, kamanda wa Jeshi, au wadhifa mwingine wowote, au alipanga uendeshaji wa masuala ya kiuchumi, mipango ya kijeshi, mipango ya uviwanda, au kitu chochote kinachofanana na hayo, basi inaruhusiwa kwa Khalifah kubatilisha hilo. Hii ni kwa sababu linachukuliwa kuwa ni maoni ya Khalifah, lakini ni miongoni mwa mambo ambayo Khalifah anaruhusiwa kuyabatilisha kama angekuwa ameyafanya mwenyewe, hivyo inaruhusiwa kubatilisha kazi ya mwakilishi wake katika hayo. Kwa hiyo, katika hali hii, inaruhusiwa kubatilisha vitendo vya msaidizi.
Accordingly, it is permitted for the Khalifah to oppose the assistant by rejecting what he has done and cancelling what has been carried out, but within the limits of what it is permitted for the Khalifah to reverse if he had done it himself. Therefore, if the assistant had implemented a rule in the correct manner, or gave wealth where it was necessitated, and subsequently the Khalifah came and opposed the assistant in this after its implementation, then there is no value in his opposition; rather the action of the assistant is implemented, and the opinion and opposition of the Khalifah is rejected, since in origin it is his opinion, and in issues similar to these situations it is not correct for him to reverse his own opinion or cancel whatever implementation had been completed. Consequently, it is not correct for him to cancel the action of his assistant in these issues. If the assistant had empowered a governor, an administrator, a commander of the Army, or any other appointment, or had laid down the running of economic issues, military plans, plans for industrialisation, or anything similar, then it is permitted for the Khalifah to cancel it. This is because it is considered to be the opinion of the Khalifah, but is from the issues that are permitted for the Khalifah to reverse if he had undertaken them himself, and so it is permitted to cancel the work of his representative in them. Therefore, in this situation, it is permitted to cancel the actions of the assistant.
Kanuni katika hili ni: Kila kitu ambacho Khalifa anaweza kukirekebisha kutokana na matendo yake mwenyewe, inaruhusiwa kwake kukirekebisha kutokana na matendo ya msaidizi wake, na kila kitu ambacho Khalifa hairuhusiwi kukirekebisha kutokana na matendo yake mwenyewe, hairuhusiwi kukirekebisha kutokana na matendo ya msaidizi wake.
The rule in this is: Everything that the Khalifah is able to correct from his own actions, is permitted for him to correct from the actions of his assistant, and everything that the Khalifah is not permitted to correct from his own actions, he is not permitted to correct from the actions of his assistant.
