Two men from my tribe came along with me. We came to the Prophet ﷺ and they spoke and addressed him, hinting that they wished to be given some position of authority. The face of the Prophet ﷺ changed, or a change was seen in his face.The Prophet ﷺ said, "The most treacherous of you in my sight is the one who seeks such a position. So hold fast to the fear of Allah ."He never sought their help in anything thereafter.
