Chapter 25 · The Office of the Judge (Kitab Al-Aqdiyah)حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: مَنْ طَلَبَ الْقَضَاءَ وَاسْتَعَانَ عَلَيْهِ وُكِلَ إِلَيْهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَطْلُبْهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَعِنْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مَلَكًا يُسَدِّدُهُ ، وقَالَ وَكِيعٌ: عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وقَالَ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ: عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ مِرْدَاسٍ الْفَزَارِيِّ، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ الْبَصْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ.

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone desires the office of Judge and seeks help for it, he will be left to his own devices; if anyone does not desire it, nor does he seek help for it, Allah will send down an angel who will direct him aright. Waki said: (This tradition has also been transmitted) by Isra'il, from Abd al-A'la, from Bilal bin Abi Musa, from Anas, from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Abu 'Awanah said: from Abdul-A'la, from Bilal bin Mirdas al-Fazari, from Khaithamah al-Basri from Anas.
