Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28423 — The dislike of serving as a tribal

Ghalib said: We were sitting when a man came in and said: "My father narrated to me from my grandfather that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever is first to greet people with peace surpasses them by ten good deeds.'" The narrator said: My father sent me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Go and convey greetings of peace to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and say to him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he requests of you (peace and blessings be upon him) that you (peace and blessings be upon him) grant him the position of overseer after him." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Oversight and management are rightful. Oversight and management are rightful. Appointing overseers is necessary, but the overseer will be in a bad position."
