Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Woe to government officials! Soon there will be people who will wish that they were hung by their hair on the Pleiades, but that they were not appointed as officials (in any government position)."
