Do not rule over (even) two persons, and do not manage an orphan's property
Abu Tharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) said to me,
"O Abu Dharr, I see that you are weak and I like for you what I like for myself. Do not rule over (even) two persons, and do not manage an orphan's property."
[Muslim]
The Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to put the right man in the right place. Since, Abu Tharr, may Allah be pleased with him, has many concerns, and enough burdens. The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw that he will not be able to endure the hardship of the leadership or to be charged with the properties of the orphans.
This is because the leadership is a job that needs a man to devote himself to it at the expense of the other religious and secular matters of. It is a heavy responsibility.
It should be noted that any man may be efficient in a field. Yet, he may be unable to do another thing.
His saying - may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him -: "I see that you are weak and I like for you what I like for myself."
The Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) considered Abu Tharr to be unable to bear the consequences of the leadership, Allah has guided you to what is better for you than the leadership, so choose what Allah has chosen for you, do not wish for anything that may bring you evil consequences.
There are men befitting for leadership, others befitting for teaching the Quran, and others are the knights of war.
Glory be to He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]
