Two men from my tribe and I entered upon the Prophet. One of the two men said to the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Appoint me as a governor," and so did the second. The Prophet ﷺ said, "We do not assign the authority of ruling to those who ask for it, nor to those who are keen to have it."  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَا وَرَجُلاَنِ مِنْ قَوْمِي فَقَالَ أَحَدُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ أَمِّرْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ الآخَرُ مِثْلَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّا لاَ نُوَلِّي هَذَا مَنْ سَأَلَهُ وَلاَ مَنْ حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ  

Two of my cousins and I entered the apartment of the Prophet ﷺ. One of them said: Messenger of Allah, appoint us rulers of some lands that the Almighty and Glorious God has entrusted to thy care. The other also said something similar. He said: We do not appoint to this position one who asks for it nor anyone who is covetous for the same. (Using translation from Muslim 1733c)  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَرَجُلَانِ مِنْ بَنِي عَمِّي فَقَالَ أَحَدُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمِّرْنَا عَلَى بَعْضِ مَا وَلَّاكَ اللَّهُ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ لَا نُوَلِّي عَلَى هَذَا الْعَمَلِ أَحَدًا سَأَلَهُ وَلَا أَحَدًا حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ»
