Sayyiduna Mustawrid bin Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever is appointed over any of our affairs, if he does not have a house, let him acquire a house (from the public treasury); if he does not have a wife, let him marry; if he does not have a servant, let him acquire a servant; and if he does not have a mount, let him acquire a mount. Whoever takes anything beyond this is a betrayer.
