83 – Chapter: The prohibition against granting governorship, judgeship, or any other office of authority to someone who requests it or strives for it—whether openly or by insinuation

685 – Abu Musa al-Ashʿari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ together with two men from among my cousins. One of them said, “Messenger of Allah, put us in charge of some part of what Allah, the Exalted, has entrusted to you,” and the other made the same request. He replied, “By Allah, we do not place in this position anyone who asks for it, nor anyone who shows eagerness for it.” Agreed upon.
