The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Woe to the rulers, woe to the trustees, and woe to the arifs (chiefs and headmen)! A day will surely come upon each one of them when he will wish that he had been hanging from a star forever and had never been put in authority over even two people."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Umar bin Sa'd narrated this hadith from Layth, and Isma'il bin Musa is alone in narrating it."
