Chapter: It is disliked to be eager for positions of Authority
Hadith 4216
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آَدَمَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانِ , عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ , عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ , عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ , عَنِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " إنَّكُمْ سَتَحْرِصُونَ عَلَى الإِمارَةِ , وَإنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ نَدَامَةً وَحَسْرَةً , فَنَعِمَتِ المُرْضِعَةُ , وَبَئِسَتِ الْفَاطِمَةُ " .
´it was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said:` "You will become keen for positions of authority, but that will become a regret and loss. What a good life they will live, but how hard it will be for them when they die."
