Hadith 674 - Bab 81 (Undesirability of Aspiring for Office)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

'Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said to me, "Do not ask for position of authority. If you are granted this position without asking for it, you will be helped (by Allah) in discharging its responsibilities; but if you are given it as a result of your request, you will be left alone as its captive. If you take an oath to do something and then find a better alternative, you should adopt the latter and expiate for your oath."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon "Abdurrahman Ibn Samoura (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) lui a dit: «O "Abdurrahman Ibn Samoura! Ne demande pas le commandement: Si tu l"obtiens sans que tu ne le demandes, tu y seras aidé et, si tu l"obtiens sur ta demande, on t"en laissera toute la responsabilité. Quand tu fais serment de faire quelque chose et que tu vois par la suite une action meilleure, fais cette dernière et fais une œuvre compensatoire pour te délier de ton serment».

Hadith 675 - Bab 81 (Undesirability of Aspiring for Office)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said to me, "O Abu Dharr, I see that you are weak and I like for you what I like for myself. Do not rule over (even) two persons, and do not manage an orphan's property."

[Muslim].

Selon Abou Dharr (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) lui a dit: «O Abou Dharr! Je vois en toi quelque faiblesse et je veux pour toi ce que je veux pour moi-même. N"accepte jamais d"être le chef d"un groupe de trois et n"assume jamais la gérance des biens d"un orphelin». (Rapporté par Moslem)

Hadith 676 - Bab 81 (Undesirability of Aspiring for Office)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I said to Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him): "Why do you not appoint me to an (official) position?" He (Peace be upon him) patted me on the shoulder with his hand and said, "O Abu Dharr, you are a weak man and it is a trust and it will be a cause of disgrace and remorse on the Day of Resurrection except for the one who takes it up with a full sense of responsibility and fulfills what is entrusted to him (discharges its obligations efficiently)."

[Muslim].

Abou Dharr (das) a encore dit: «O Messager de Dieu! Que ne me nommes-tu gouverneur de quelque province?» Il frappa de la main son épaule et lui dit: «O Abou Dharr! tu es faible et il s"agit là d"un dépôt qui rapporte, le jour de la résurrection, opprobre et remords, sauf à celui qui aura obtenu ce poste par son mérite et en aura rempli toutes les obligations». (Rapporté par Moslem)

Hadith 677 - Bab 81 (Undesirability of Aspiring for Office)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "You will covet for getting a position of authority, but remember that it will be a cause of humiliation and remorse on the Day of Resurrection."

[Al- Bukhari]

Selon Abou Hourayra (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «Vous vous empressez à obtenir le commandement alors que ce sera une source de remords le jour de la résurrection». (Rapporté par Al Boukhàrî)
