Bayhaqi 20225 — The dislike of leadership, and the dislike of taking
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ فُورَكٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا هِشَامٌ، فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " ذَوَائِبُهُمْ كَانَتْ مُعَلَّقَةً بِالثُّرَيَّا يَتَذَبْذَبُونَ ".
Hisham narrates in the same way with his chain, that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Their forelocks were tied to the Pleiades, and they were dangling in between."
