Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever is put in charge of an office, well-being is spread out for him; if he accepts it, it will be spread out for him and completed for him, but if he pushes it away, there will be opened up for him what he has no strength to bear. The narrator says: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): "What does the phrase 'hafaza 'anha' mean?" He said: "That he investigates their slips and their hidden matters."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.
