Muhammad bin Ziyad says that Marwan used to appoint Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) as the governor of Madinah Munawwarah. Whenever Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a man dragging his lower garment on the ground, he would strike his leg and then say, "The leader has come, the leader has come," and would say that Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever, out of arrogance, drags his izar (lower garment) on the ground, Allah will not look at him with mercy."
