Riyad as-Salihin - On the prohibition against seeking authority and the option of not accepting it if it is not specific to him or if he is not required Hadith

Chapter: On
the prohibition against seeking authority and the option of not accepting it if
it is not specific to him or if he is not required

Allah Almighty says, "That Abode of the Next World: We grant it
to those who do not seek to exalt themselves in the earth or to cause
corruption in it. The successful outcome is for the godfearing."
(28:83)

674. Abu Sa'id 'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Samura said, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to me, 'O
'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Samura. Do not ask for leadership. If you are given it
without asking for it, you will be helped in it. If you are given it through
asking for it, it will be up to you. If you make a vow and then see something
other than it which is better than it, then do that which is better and expiate
your oath.'" [Agreed upon]

675. Abu Dharr said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said to me, 'O Abu Dharr! I see that you are weak and I want for you
what I want for myself. You will never be put in charge of even two men nor be
put in charge of the property of an orphan.'" [Muslim]

676. Abu Dharr said, "I said, 'Messenger of Allah, why do you not appoint
me?' He clapped me on the shoulder with his hand and then said, 'Abu Dharr, you
are weak. It is a trust, and on the Day of Rising it will be disgrace and regret
except for the man who takes it as it should be taken and fulfils what is
demanded of him in respect of it.'" [Muslim]

677. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "You will covet leadership, but it will be a source
of regret on the Day of Rising." [al-Bukhari]
