حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ النَّخَعِيُّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَعْنَى مُسَدَّدٍ قَالَ " وَمَنْ لَزِمَ السُّلْطَانَ افْتُتِنَ " . زَادَ " وَمَا ازْدَادَ عَبْدٌ مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ دُنُوًّا إِلاَّ ازْدَادَ مِنَ اللَّهِ بُعْدًا " .
Muhammad ibn 'Isa narrated to us: Muhammad ibn 'Ubayd narrated to us: al-Hasan ibn al-Hakam al-Nakha'i narrated to us, from 'Adi ibn Thabit, from an unnamed man of the Ansar, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (ﷺ), with a report like Musaddad's. It says: ‘Whoever stays close to the ruler is put to trial.’ It adds: ‘Whenever a servant draws nearer to the ruler, he grows farther from Allah.’
