حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو الْأَصْبَغِ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحَرَّانِيُّ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ. عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ:
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي، وَفِي يَدِهِ سِوَاكٌ يَسْتَنُّ بِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اسْتَعْمِلْنَا، فَإِنَّ عِنْدَنَا غِنًى، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَسْتَعْمِلَ عَلَى عَمَلِنَا مَنْ حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ

✧ I entered upon the Messenger of God ﷺ with a cousin of mine, and in his hand was a tooth-stick (siwāk) he was using. I said: O Messenger of God, appoint us as governors, for we have wealth. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: We do not wish to appoint over our work anyone who is eager for it.
