(337) بَابُ قَوْلِ الرَّجُلِ: لا بُلَّ شَانِئُكَ
Abu 'Abdu'l-'Aziz said, "Abu Hurayra spent the night with us andlooked at a star before him. Then he said, 'By the One who holds Abu Hurayrain his hand, some people wish that they would be appointed commanders inthe earth while their actions are as if they were handing from that star.They are not appointed to those positions of command not to those positions.'Then he turned to me and said, 'May the one who hates you not have good!Is all of this allowed by the people of the east in the east?' 'Yes, byAllah,' I replied. He said, 'May Allah make them ugly and drive them likeangry camels as if their faces were beaten shields until they give theowner of a field his field and the owner of sheep his sheep!'"
