English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) 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
Book 09, Chapter 89, Hadith #
262].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 95."He said: "That (wealth, authority and power) in which my Lord had established me is better (than your tribute)".This Hadith urges people, particularly the incapable ones, to shed off the ambition to achieve rulership and power. It is feared that owing to their lack of talent they will mismanage the task which will be assigned to them. This will render them guilty with Allah. The Prophet
[SAWW](PBUH) dissuades such people from accepting any government
portfolio as in this way they will remain safe and trouble-free. Yet, if
a deserving person gets a job of high responsibility, he should do his
utmost to do full justice to it, so that he may be spared remorse on the
Day of Resurrection.
