Yazid bin Abi Sufyan says: When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sent me towards Syria, he said to me: O Yazid! There are your relatives there, it is possible that you may give preference to your relatives in assigning responsibilities. Of all things, I fear this most about you, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever is made responsible for any matter among the affairs of the Muslims, then appoints someone as a ruler over them out of his own preference, the curse of Allah will be upon him. Or he said: The protection of Allah will be removed from him.
