حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَی عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَأَلَ الْقَضَائَ وُکِلَ إِلَی نَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ جُبِرَ عَلَيْهِ نَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ آلِکْ فَسَدَّدَهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2309
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever asks to be appointed a judge, will be entrusted to himself, but whoever is forced to accept the position, an angel will come down to him and guide him.'"
