باب مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ الحِرْصِ عَلَى الإِمَارَةِ
2200
Mukhtasar Sahih Al-Bukhariعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ (ﷺ) قَالَ : (إِنَّكُمْ سَتَحْرِصُونَ عَلَى الإِمَارَةِ، وَسَتَكُونُ نَدَامَةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَنِعْمَ الْمُرْضِعَةُ وَبِئْسَتِ الْفَاطِمَةُ).
Narrated Abu Huraira
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You people will be keen to have the authority of ruling which will be a thing of regret for you on the Day of Resurrection. What an excellent wet nurse it is, yet what a bad weaning one it is! [1] [9:262-O.B]
Explanation & Scholarly Notes (Sharh):
[1] The authority of ruling is like a wet nurse for the ruler, because it provides him with all sorts of pleasure, but as soon as he is dismissed or dies, he is weaned, i.e. deprived from all such pleasures and is taken to account.

Narrated Ma'qil bin Yasâr

Narrated Tarif Abi Tamîma
Jundab said that he heard Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Whoever does a good deed in order to show off, Allâh will expose his intentions on the Day of Resurrection (before the people), and whoever puts the people into difficulties, Allâh will put him into difficulties on the Day of Resurrection." The people said (to Jundab), "Advise us. He said, "The first thing of the human body to putrefy is the abdomen, so he who can eat nothing but good food (and earned lawfully) should do so, and he who does as much as he can that nothing intervene between him and Paradise by not shedding even a handful of blood, (i.e., murdering) should do so." " [9:266-O.B]
