كتاب الإمارة
Read the English translation first, with the original Arabic directly underneath.
It has been narrated by Abu Musa who said:
Two of my cousins and I entered the apartment of the Prophet (ﷺ). One of them said: Messenger of Allah, appoint us rulers of some lands that the Almighty and Glorious God has entrusted to your care. The other also said something similar. He said: We do not appoint to this position one who asks for it nor anyone who is covetous for the same.
إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ لاَ نُوَلِّي عَلَى هَذَا الْعَمَلِ أَحَدًا سَأَلَهُ وَلاَ أَحَدًا حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ
