[26].Surah Ash-Shuara [The Poets]: Ayat 34-35

৩৪. ফেরাউন তার পরিষদবর্গকে বলল, নিশ্চয় এ একজন সুদক্ষ জাদুকর।
৩৫. সে তার জাদু বলে তোমাদেরকে তোমাদের দেশ থেকে বহিস্কার করতে চায়। অতএব তোমাদের মত কি?

Ayat 34. [Firaun (Pharaoh)] said to the chiefs around him: "Verily! This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer.

Ayat 35. "He wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery, then what is it your counsel, and what do you command?" 

Tafseer of Ayat 34. (Pharaoh) said to the Chiefs around him: "This is indeed a sorcerer well- versed: In 7:109 it is the Chiefs who say this. The fact is that it was a general consultation, and this was the general feeling, expressed in words by each to the others. Ayat 35. "Firaun playing tricks with mind of his people and said the Moses PBUH planning is to get you out of your home and your land by his sorcery; then what is it ye counsel?" 

  

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "You will covet for getting a position of authority, but remember that it will be a cause of humiliation and remorse on the Day of Resurrection.''

[Al-Bukhari Book 09, Chapter 89, Hadith # 262]. 

 

Lesson : This Hadith urges people, particularly the incapable ones, to shed off the ambition to achieve rulership and power. It is feared that owing to their lack of talent they will mismanage the task which will be assigned to them. This will render them guilty with Allah. The Prophet (PBUH) dissuades such people from accepting any government portfolio as in this way they will remain safe and trouble-free. Yet, if a deserving person gets a job of high responsibility, he should do his utmost to do full justice to it, so that he may be spared remorse on the Day of Resurrection.
