Islam pioneers fighting favoritism - Muslimah - 11-19-2011
Narrated under the authority of Ibn A`bbas, that the Messenger of Allah blessing and peace be upon him said: "Whoever appointed an employee from among Muslims while knowing that there is another one who better deserves this position, more knowledgeable about the Book of Allah, and the Sunnah of His Prophet, then he betrayed Allah, his Messenger and all Muslims" (reported by Bayhaqy in his Sunan)
(Reported by Alhakem) The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever appointed a man for a position from among a group of people knowing that they include one who is more pleasing to Allah, he would have betrayed Allah, His Messenger and Believers"
Narrated under the authority of Yazid Bin Abi Sofyan saying: Abu Bakrassdeek told me when he commissioned me to Sham, O Yazid, you have relatives, be warned against favoring them for leadership positions, this is what I m mostly concerned about you for, as the Messenger of Allah said: [whoever is appointed in charge of a matter of the Muslims, and assigned over them a leader by favoritism, Allah's curse shall befell him, Allah shall not accept from him neither Sarfan (repentance) nor a`dlan (compensation)
