أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ

أَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعِي رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّيِّنَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَنْ يَمِينِي وَالْآخَرُ عَنْ يَسَارِي ورَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَاكُ فَكِلَاهُمَا سَأَلَ الْعَمَلَ قُلْتُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَطْلَعَانِي عَلَى مَا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمَا وَمَا شَعَرْتُ أَنَّهُمَا يَطْلُبَانِ الْعَمَلَ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى سِوَاكِهِ تَحْتَ شَفَتِهِ قَلُصَتْ قَالَ «إِنَّا لَا أَوْ لَنْ نَسْتَعْمِلَ عَلَى عَمَلِنَا مَنْ أَرَادَهُ وَلَكِنْ اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ» فَبَعَثَهُ عَلَى الْيَمَنِ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ

✧ I approached the Prophet ﷺ with two men from the Ash'aris, one on my right and the other on my left, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was using a toothstick. Both of them asked for an appointment. I said: By the One who sent you with the truth, they did not inform me of what was in their hearts, and I did not realize that they were seeking the appointment. It was as if I could see his toothstick under his lip, and it had receded. He said: “We do not—or we will not—appoint over our work anyone who desires it. But you go.” So he sent him to Yemen, then sent Mu'adh b. Jabal after him.
