عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَدِمَ رَجُلَانِ مَعِي مِنْ قَوْمِي قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَطَبَا وَتَكَلَّمَا فَجَعَلَا يُعَرِّضَانِ بِالْعَمَلِ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ رُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ أَخْوَنَكُمْ عِنْدِي مَنْ يَطْلُبُهُ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ“ قَالَ فَمَا اسْتَعَانَ بِهِمَا عَلَى شَيْءٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Two men from my tribe came with me, and we went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Both of them spoke to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and requested a position of responsibility from him. Upon hearing this, the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed, or signs of displeasure appeared on his face. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The person who seeks leadership is, in my view, the most treacherous among you. You should adopt the fear of Allah Almighty. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not appoint them to any responsibility.
