Bayhaqi 20234 — The dislike of leadership, and the dislike of taking

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ السَّمَّاكِ، ثنا حَنْبَلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ: " خَرَجَ شُرَيْحٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ زِيَادٍ، فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: " كَبِرَتْ سِنُّكَ، وَرَقَّ عَظْمُكَ، وَارْتَشَى ابْنُكَ "، قَالَ: فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: " مَنْ قَالَ لَكَ؟ "، قَالَ: لَا أَعْرِفُهُ فَاعْفِنِي، قَالَ: " لَا أُعْفِيكَ حَتَّى تُشِيرَ عَلَيَّ بِرَجُلٍ "، فَأَشَارَ عَلَيْهِ بِأَبِي بُرْدَةَ فَوَلَّاهُ الْقَضَاءَ ".
Abu Nu'aym (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Qadi Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) came out from Ziyad, and a man met him and said: Your age has advanced, your bones have grown frail, and your son has taken bribes. He went back to Ziyad and informed him of this. He said: Who told you this? He said: I do not know him, so excuse me (from the office). Ziyad said: I will not excuse you until you point me to a man. So he pointed to Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him), and he made him judge.
