Hadith 28422
٢٨٤٢٢ - حدثنا ابن نمير عن عثمان بن حكيم قال: أخبرني عبد اللَّه بن عثمان رجل (من) (١) بني سلول أنه دعاه قومه ليعرفوه، واختاروه لذلك، فأبى وامتنع، فذهب إلى عبد اللَّه بن عمرو فشاوره واستأمره فقال: لا تعرَفنَّ عليهم، (فجاؤوه) (٢) (بالغدوة) (٣) فلم يزالوا حتى ألزموها إياه، فذهب إلى عبد اللَّه بن عمرو فأخبره أنه قد أُكره فقال: أولها شفعة وأوسطها خيانة وآخرها عذاب النار (٤).
Hazrat Usman bin Hakeem narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Usman, who was a man from the tribe of Banu Salool, says that my people called me so that they could appoint me as an overseer and select me for this position. You refused and left it. You went to Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), consulted him, and sought his opinion. He said: Never become an overseer over them. The next morning, those people came to you again and kept insisting until they appointed you for it. You went to Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) and informed him that you had been compelled. Upon this, he said: Its beginning is recommendation, its middle is betrayal, and its end is the punishment of Hell.
