-عن أبى موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه

قال: دخلت على النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم أنا ورجلان من بني عمي، فقال أحدهما: يا رسول الله أمرنا على بعض ما ولاك الله، عز وجل، وقال الآخر مثل ذلك، فقال: «إنا والله لا نولى هذا العمل أحدا سأله، أو أحدا حرص عليه»

I called on the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) with two of my cousins. One of them said to him: “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), appoint me governor of some land over which Allah has given you authority.” The other also requested for something of the same nature. Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “By Allah we do not appoint someone to this post who seeks it or someone who contends for it.”.
