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 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم for we have something to ask him.’ So I went with them, and they said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, 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.” (Sahih)
