Musnad Ahmad 9683 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ ابْنَا عُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم : " مَنْ بَدَا جَفَا ، وَمَنْ تَبِعَ الصَّيْدَ غَفَلَ ، وَمَنْ أَتَى أَبْوَابَ السُّلْطَانِ افْتُتِنَ ، وَمَا ازْدَادَ عَبْدٌ مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ قُرْبًا إِلَّا ازْدَادَ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بُعْدًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever lives in the villages becomes hard-hearted; whoever pursues hunting becomes heedless; whoever comes to the doors of kings falls into tribulation; and the closer a person gets to a king, the farther he gets from Allah.
