حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ قُرَّةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ
انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ رَجُلَيْنِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَتَشَهَّدَ أَحَدُهُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ جِئْنَا لِتَسْتَعِينَ بِنَا عَلَى عَمَلِكَ وَقَالَ الآخَرُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَخْوَنَكُمْ عِنْدَنَا مَنْ طَلَبَهُ فَاعْتَذَرَ أَبُو مُوسَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ لَمْ أَعْلَمْ لِمَا جَاءَا لَهُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَعِنْ بِهِمَا عَلَى شَىْءٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ

I went along with two men to see the Prophet ﷺ. One of them recited tashahhud and said: We have come to you so that you may employ us for your work. The other also said the same thing. He (the Prophet) replied: The most faithless of you in our eyes is the one who asked for it (responsible post). Abu Musa then apologized to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I did not know why they came to you. He did not employ them for anything until he died.
