Bayhaqi 20227 — The dislike of leadership, and the dislike of taking

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبْدُوسٍ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، فِي قِصَّةِ مَقْتَلِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: " فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَجَاءَ النَّاسُ يُثْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ، وَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ، فَقَالَ: " أَبْشِرْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِبُشْرَى اللهِ لَكَ، مِنْ صُحْبَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَدَمٍ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ، ثُمَّ وُلِّيتَ فَعَدَلْتَ، ثُمَّ الشَّهَادَةُ "، قَالَ: " يَا ابْنَ أَخِي وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَفَافٌ، لَا عَلَيَّ وَلَا لِيَ "، فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ إِذَا إِزَارُهُ يَمَسُّ الْأَرْضَ، فَقَالَ: " رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ الْغُلَامَ "، قَالَ: " يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، ارْفَعْ ثَوْبَكَ، فَإِنَّهُ أَنْقَى لِثَوْبِكَ، وَأَتْقَى لِرَبِّكَ. رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ.
Amr bin Maymun (may Allah have mercy on him) related, concerning the story of the killing of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): We came to him, and the people were praising him. A young man came and said: O Commander of the Believers, rejoice in the glad tidings from Allah for you: you had the companionship of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the precedence in Islam that you know of; then you were made ruler and you were just; then (came) martyrdom. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O my nephew, (I wish) it would just come out even, neither reward nor punishment; that alone is enough. When he turned away, his lower garment was touching the ground. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Bring that young man back. O my nephew, raise your garment, for it is cleaner for your garment and more pleasing to your Lord.
