حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَحْرِصُونَ عَلَى الإِمَارَةِ، وَسَتَكُونُ نَدَامَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَنِعْمَ الْمُرْضِعَةُ وَبِئْسَتِ الْفَاطِمَةُ» وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَوْلَهُ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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!”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে বর্ণনা করেন। তিনি বলেছেনঃ তোমরা নিশ্চয়ই নেতৃত্বের লোভ কর, অথচ কিয়ামতের দিন তা লজ্জার কারণ হয়ে দাঁড়াবে। কত উত্তম দুগ্ধদায়িনী এবং কত মন্দ দুগ্ধ পানে বাধা দানকারিণী (এটা) (অর্থাৎ এর প্রথম দিক দুগ্ধদানের মত তৃপ্তিকর, আর পরিণাম দুধ ছাড়ানোর মত যন্ত্রণাদায়ক)।

(আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৬৪৯, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন- ৬৬৬৩) মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু বাশ্‌শার .... আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) থেকে এ হাদীসটি আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ)-এর ভাষ্য হিসাবে বর্ণনা করেছেন।

ہم سے احمد بن یونس نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے ابن ابی ذئب نے بیان کیا، ان سے سعید مقبری نے بیان کیا اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ ہم سے احمد بن یونس نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے ابن ابی ذئب نے بیان کیا، ان سے سعید مقبری نے بیان کیا اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Yunus] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Abu Dzi'b] dari [Sa'id Al Maqburi] dari [Abu Hurairah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "kalian akan rakus terhadap jabatan, padahal jabatan itu akan menjadi penyesalan dihari kiamat, ia adalah seenak-enak penyusuan dan segetir-getir penyapihan."

[Muhamad bin Basyar] berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Humran] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdul Hamid bin Ja'far] dari [Sa'id Al Maqburi] dari [Umar bin Al Hakam] dari [Abu Hurairah] seperti diatas

Ebu Hureyre r.a.'in nakline göre Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurmuştur: "Sizler mevki ve makamlara çok hırslı oluyorsunuz. Halbuki idarecilik, kıyamet günü nedamet olacaktır. O makam, ne güzel bir sütannedir ve ne kötü bir sütten kesendir

What it means

This Hadīth highlights the significance of the positions of authority, including the judiciary, and their numerous responsibilities and consequences in the Hereafter. We are warned against pursuing leadership and being eager for it, and this applies to those who seek to assume a position of authority, even though they are not qualified enough.

By contrast, if a position of authority is assigned to a qualified person without him seeking it and he undertakes it in a proper and just manner, he will be helped in doing his job, as indicated in other Hadīths. Leadership is likened to a wet nurse, given the financial benefits, good standing, and influence it brings about. It is also likened to a weaning one because of its resultant liabilities and sorrows on the Day of Judgment.
