The Rarity of Zuhd in Leadership


The Rarity of Zuhd in Leadership

It is reported that Sufyān Al-Thawrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:


I have not seen less zuhd (abstinence) in anything than leadership; you can see a man renouncing food, drink, wealth and clothing, but if his leadership is contested, he vehemently defends and has enmity over it.


Al-Dhahabī, Siyar ʾAʿlām Al-Nubalāʾ 7:262.
