Show the chain

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ؓ قَالَ:

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعِي رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ، فَسَأَلَاهُ الْعَمَلَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ -: إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعْمِلُ عَلَى عَمَلِنَا مَنْ حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ مَنْ طَلَبَهُ.
