Chapter: Not Appointing One Who is Eager to be a Judge
Hadith 5384
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْسٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : أَتَانِي نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ , فَقَالُوا : اذْهَبْ مَعَنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَإِنَّ لَنَا حَاجَةً فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُمْ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , اسْتَعِنْ بِنَا فِي عَمَلِكَ ، قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : فَاعْتَذَرْتُ مِمَّا قَالُوا , وَأَخْبَرْتُ أَنِّي لَا أَدْرِي مَا حَاجَتُهُمْ فَصَدَّقَنِي , وَعَذَرَنِي ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ فِي عَمَلِنَا بِمَنْ سَأَلَنَا " .
´It was narrated that Abu Musa said:` "Some people from among the Ash'aris came to me and said: 'Go with us to the Messenger of Allah [SAW], for we have something to ask him.' So I went with them, and they said: 'O Messenger of Allah, use us to do your work.'" Abu Musa said: "I apologized for what they said, and I told him that I did not know what they were going to ask. He believed me and excused me, and said: 'We do not appoint for our work anyone who asks for that.'"
