Chapter 25 · The Office of the Judge (Kitab Al-Aqdiyah)الرَّجُلِ يَحْلِفُ عَلَى حَقِّهِ
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الرَّقِّيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ بَحِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ سَيْفٍ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَضَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ، فَقَالَ الْمَقْضِيُّ عليْهِ لَمَّا أَدْبَرَ: حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَلُومُ عَلَى الْعَجْزِ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكَ بِالْكَيْسِ، فَإِذَا غَلَبَكَ أَمْرٌ، فَقُلْ: حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ .

A man who swears to establish his right
The Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gave a decision between two men, and the one against whom the decision was given turned away and said: For me Allah sufficient, and He is the best dispenser of affairs. The Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Allah, Most High, blames for falling short, but apply intelligence, and when the matter gets the better of you, say; For me Allah sufficient, and He is the best disposer of affairs.
