Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ حُجَيْرَةَ الشَّيْخَ يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَقُولُ نَاج
َيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً إِلَى الصُّبْحِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمِّرْنِي فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا أَمَانَةٌ وَخِزْيٌ وَنَدَامَةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا مَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِحَقِّهَا وَأَدَّى الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he spent the night until morning with the Messenger of Allah دلوالله and said to him: "Command me." He said: "Leadership is a trust and it will be regret and humiliation on the Day of Resurrection — except for one who takes it with its right and fulfills what is due in it."
