Work hard , Strive for excellence , Be sincere in your intentions

This hadith is about the importance of merit-based appointments. It was narrated by Abu Burdah that Abu Musa said he came to the Prophet with two men from the Ash'aris who were seeking to be appointed as officials. The Prophet discouraged them from seeking positions of authority and instead encouraged them to work hard and be appointed based on their merits. He sent Abu Musa to Yemen, then sent Mu'adh bin Jabal after him as an example of how one should be appointed based on their merits rather than through asking for it directly. This hadith teaches us that we should not seek positions of authority but rather strive for excellence in our work so that we can earn these positions through our own efforts and dedication. We should also remember that Allah will reward us for our good deeds if we are sincere in our intentions.
