English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن قيس الأشعري

I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) with two men from Ash'ari tribe. I said (to the Prophet), "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."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ قُرَّةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعِي رَجُلَانِ مِنْ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا عَمِلْتُ ، أَنَّهُمَا يَطْلُبَانِ الْعَمَلَ ، فَقَالَ : "

لَنْ ، أَوْ لَا نَسْتَعْمِلُ عَلَى عَمَلِنَا مَنْ أَرَادَهُ
