It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "For the 'arif (the overseer and official in charge of the affairs of a people or tribe), a door of Hell, or of the Fire, is opened every year."
Imam Musaddad (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Yahya narrated this to us from Abu al-Ashhab, from Dabi' bin Bashshar, from his paternal uncle Sa'sa'ah bin Malik, from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him).
