It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The 'irafah (public headship and responsibility): its beginning is blame, its end is regret, and (for falling short in it) there is punishment on the Day of Resurrection." (The narrator said:) I said: O Abu Hurayrah, will this also be the state of those who were mindful of Allah (taqwa)? He said: "I am telling you just as I myself heard it."
Imam Abu Ya'la (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Shuja' bin Makhlad narrated to us; he said: Wahb bin Jarir narrated to us, from Hisham al-Dastuwa'i, with the same chain.
