حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ رَجَاءٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ الْأَزْرَقِ قَالَدَخَلَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ كِنْدَةَ وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ جَالِسٌ فِي حَلْقَةٍ فَقَالَا أَلَا رَجُلٌ يُنَفِّذُ بَيْنَنَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْحَلْقَةِ أَنَا فَأَخَذَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصًى فَرَمَاهُ بِهِ وَقَالَ مَهْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُكْرَهُ التَّسَرُّعُ إِلَى الْحُكْمِ

Narrated to us [Muhammad ibn Kathir], informed us [Israil], narrated to us [Abdul A'la] from [Bilal] from [Anas ibn Malik], he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever seeks to be a judge and seeks help for it, his affairs are left to him; but whoever does not seek it nor ask for help, Allah sends an angel to guide him.' [Waki'] said from [Israil] from [Abdul A'la] from [Bilal ibn Abu Musa] from [Anas] from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and [Abu 'Awanah] said from [Abdul A'la] from [Bilal ibn Mirdas Al-Fazari] from [Khaithamah Al-Ansari] from [Anas].
