I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Only a ruler, or one put in charge, or one who is presumptuous, gives instructions. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3665)  

أحمد:٢٣٩٩٢حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بُكَيْرُ بْنُ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ قَاصَّ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَهُ

قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَقُصُّ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ أَوْ مُخْتَالٌ

مَا هَذِهِ الْجَمَاعَةُ؟ قَالُوا كَعْبٌ يَقُصُّ قَالَ يَا وَيْحَهُ أَلَا سَمِعَ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَقُصُّ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ أَوْ مُخْتَالٌ
