2261. Narrated Abū Mūsā رضي الله عنه : I went to the Prophet ﷺ with two men from Ash'arī tribe. I said (to the Prophet ﷺ), “I do not know that they want employment.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “No, we do not appoint for our jobs anybody who demands it earnestly.”

Arabic text

2261 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ قُرَّةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعِي رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الأَشْعَرِيِّينَ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا عَمِلْتُ أَنَّهُمَا يَطْلُبَانِ العَمَلَ، فَقَالَ: «لَنْ - أَوْ لاَ - نَسْتَعْمِلُ عَلَى عَمَلِنَا مَنْ أَرَادَهُ»
