حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ قُرَّةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَعِي رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الأَشْعَرِيِّينَ، فَقُلْتُ مَا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُمَا يَطْلُبَانِ الْعَمَلَ. فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَنْ أَوْ لاَ نَسْتَعْمِلُ عَلَى عَمَلِنَا مَنْ أَرَادَهُ ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ মূসা (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর নিকট আসলাম, আমার সঙ্গে আশ‘আরী গোত্রের দু’জন লোক ছিল। তিনি বলেন, আমি বললাম, আমি জানতাম না যে, এরা কোন কর্মপ্রার্থী হবে। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, যে ব্যক্তি কর্মপ্রার্থী হয়, আমরা আমাদের কাজে তাকে কখনো নিয়োগ করি না অথবা বলেছেন কখনো করব না। (৩০৩৮, ৪৩৪১, ৪৩৪৩, ৪৩৪৪, ৬১২৪, ৬৯২৩, ৭১৪৯, ৭১৫৬, ৭১৫৭, ৭১৭২) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২১০১, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
