Hadith on Authority: The Prohibition of Desiring Power and Authority over People

Narrated Abu Musa : Two of my cousins and I entered (the house of) the Prophet. One of them said: “Messenger of Allah, appoint us rulers of some lands that the Almighty and Glorious God entrusted to your care.” The other also said something similar. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: “Without doubt, by Allah, we do not appoint anyone to this position who asks for it or desires it.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 20, Number 4489]

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَا وَرَجُلاَنِ مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّي فَقَالَ أَحَدُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمِّرْنَا عَلَى بَعْضِ مَا وَلاَّكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ الآخَرُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ‏ إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ لاَ نُوَلِّي عَلَى هَذَا الْعَمَلِ أَحَدًا سَأَلَهُ وَلاَ أَحَدًا حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ
