It is narrated from Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, I will tell you about leadership and what it is. Its first stage is blame, its second is regret, and its third is punishment on the Day of Resurrection, except for the one who acts justly."
