حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ 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 أُجْبِرَ عَلَيْهِ يُنْزِلُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مَلَکًا فَيُسَدِّدُهُ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1323
Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu Alayhi wa sallam) said: Whoever asks for a position as a judge, then he left on his own. And whoever is forced onto it, Allah sends an angel down to him so that he can be correct. (Daif)
