The narrator said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed a man as commander of an expedition. When he returned, he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "How did you find leadership?" He said: I remained just like the rest of the people; when I mounted, they mounted, and when I dismounted, they dismounted. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the holder of authority stands at the door of hardship, except the one whom Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, protects." The man said: By Allah! I will never work for you nor for anyone else. The narrator said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed so much that his (peace and blessings be upon him) molar teeth became visible.
