حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ رَجَائٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ الْأَزْرَقِ قَالَ دَخَلَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ کِنْدَةَ وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ جَالِسٌ فِي حَلْقَةٍ فَقَالَا أَلَا رَجُلٌ يُنَفِّذُ بَيْنَنَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْحَلْقَةِ أَنَا فَأَخَذَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ کَفًّا مِنْ حَصًی فَرَمَاهُ بِهِ وَقَالَ مَهْ إِنَّهُ کَانَ يُکْرَهُ التَّسَرُّعُ إِلَی الْحُکْمِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3577
Abdur Rahman ibn Bishr al-Ansari al-Azraq said: Two men from the locality of Kindah came while Abu Masud al-Ansari was sitting n a circle. They said: Is there any man who decides between us. A man from the circle said: I, Abu Masud took a handful of pebbles and threw at him, saying: Hush! It is disapproved to make haste in decision.
