It has been reported on the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman b. Samura who said:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: 'Abd al-Rahman, do not ask for a position of authority, for if you are granted this position as a result of your asking for it, you will be left alone (without God's help to discharge the responsibilities attendant thereon), and it you are granted it without making any request for it, you will be helped (by God in the discharge of your duties)Rapporté par ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Samura : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ m’a dit : « ‘Abd al-Rahman, ne demande pas à avoir une position d’autorité, car si tu l’obtiens parce que tu l’as demandée, tu seras laissé seul (sans l’aide d’Allah pour assumer tes responsabilités). Mais si tu l’obtiens sans l’avoir demandée, tu seras aidé (par Allah dans l’accomplissement de ta mission). »Grades given by scholars
