Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir 2304 — You will soon be intensely eager
«إنكم ستحرصون على الإمارة وإنها ستكون ندامة وحسرة يوم القيامة فنعم المرضعة وبئست الفاطمة»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"You will soon be intensely eager to attain leadership (office and rule), yet on the Day of Resurrection it will be a cause of regret and sorrow. So it (leadership) is an excellent wet-nurse (that is, giving worldly benefits at first), but a terrible weaner (that is, when it is snatched away at dismissal or death)."
