Sunan An-Nasa`i : 5384
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْسٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ: أَتَانِي نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ، فَقَالُوا: اذْهَبْ مَعَنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِنَّ لَنَا حَاجَةً فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اسْتَعِنْ بِنَا فِي عَمَلِكَ، قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: فَاعْتَذَرْتُ مِمَّا قَالُوا، وَأَخْبَرْتُ أَنِّي لَا أَدْرِي مَا حَاجَتُهُمْ فَصَدَّقَنِي، وَعَذَرَنِي، فَقَالَ: إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ فِي عَمَلِنَا بِمَنْ سَأَلَنَا .
It was narrated that Abu Musa said: Some people from among the Ash'aris came to me and said: 'Go with us to the Messenger of Allah [SAW], for we have something to ask him.' So I went with them, and they said: 'O Messenger of Allah, use us to do your work.' Abu Musa said: I apologized for what they said, and I told him that I did not know what they were going to ask. He believed me and excused me, and said: 'We do not appoint for our work anyone who asks for that.'
