Majma al-Zawaid 9256 — The doors of the ruler and seeking closeness
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَنْ بَدَا جَفَا وَمَنْ تَبِعَ الصَّيْدَ غَفَلَ ، وَمَنْ أَتَى أَبْوَابَ السُّلْطَانِ افْتُتِنَ ، وَمَا ازْدَادَ عَبْدٌ مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ قُرْبًا إِلَّا ازْدَادَ مِنَ اللَّهِ بُعْدًا " .
قُلْتُ : لَمْ أَجِدْهُ فِي نُسْخَتِي مِنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَأَحَدُ إِسْنَادَيْ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ خَلَا الْحَسَنَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ النَّخْعِيَّ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever adopts the desert life becomes harsh, whoever follows the game becomes heedless, and whoever goes to the door of the ruler is put to trial. The closer a servant draws to the ruler, the further he moves away from Allah Almighty."
I say: I did not find this narration in my copy of "Sunan Abi Dawud".
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it; of the two chains of Ahmad, the narrators of one are the narrators of the Sahih, except for al-Hasan bin al-Hakam al-Nakha'i, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
