Sunan Abi Dawud 3579 (Book 25, Hadith 9) #23869
The Benefits of Not Employing Desperate Workers

SUMMARY: It is not beneficial to employ someone who is desperate for work.

Abu Buradah reported the Prophet as saying: "We will never employ or we shall not employ (the narrator is doubtful) in our work one who wants it".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ لَنْ نَسْتَعْمِلَ - أَوْ لاَ نَسْتَعْمِلُ - عَلَى عَمَلِنَا مَنْ أَرَادَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is not beneficial to employ someone who is desperate for work. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was advising his companions against hiring people who are in need of a job and are willing to do anything just to get it. He was emphasizing the importance of being selective when it comes to hiring employees and choosing those who have the right skills and qualifications for the job. This hadith also teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions and think carefully before making decisions that could affect others negatively. We should always strive to make sure that our decisions benefit everyone involved, rather than just ourselves or a select few individuals.

Furthermore, this hadith also serves as a reminder for employers not to take advantage of people in need by offering them low wages or unfair working conditions simply because they are desperate for work. Instead, employers should strive towards providing fair wages and good working conditions so that everyone can benefit from their employment opportunities equally.
