وعن ابي ذر قال: قلت: يا رسول الله الا تستعملني؟ قال: فضرب بيده على منكبي ثم قال: «يا ابا ذر إنك ضعيف وإنها امانة وإنها يوم القيامة خزي وندامة إلا من اخذها بحقها وادى الذي عليه فيها» . وفي رواية: قال له: «يا ابا ذر إني اراك ضعيفا وإني احب لك ما احب لنفسي لا تامرن على اثنين ولا تولين مال يتيم» . رواه مسلم
Abu Dharr told that he asked God’s Messenger to make him a governor, but he struck him on his shoulder with his hand and said,You are weak, Abu Dharr, and it is a trust which will be a cause of shame and regret on the day of resurrection except for him who undertakes it as it ought to be undertaken and fulfils his duty in it.In a version he said to him,I see that you are weak, Abu Dharr, and I wish for you what I wish for myself. Do not accept rule over two people and do not become guardian of an orphan’s property.Muslim transmitted it.
