Hadith #50821
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ سَكَنَ الْبَادِيَةَ جَفَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ الصَّيْدَ غَفَلَ وَمَنْ أَتَى السُّلْطَانَ افْتُتِنَ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ: «مَنْ لَزِمَ السُّلْطَانَ افْتُتِنَ وَمَا ازْدَادَ عَبْدٌ مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ دُنُوًّا إِلَّا ازْدَادَ من اللَّهِ بُعداً»
On the authority of Ibn Abbas, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said: “Whoever lives in the desert is foolish, whoever follows hunting is foolish, and whoever goes to the ruler is tempted.” Narrated by Ahmad, Al-Tirmidhi, and Al-Nasa’i, and in the narration of Abu Dawud: “Whoever restrains the Sultan is tempted, and no servant of his Sultan is close to God, except that he increases his distance from God.”
