عَنِ ابْنِ الْفِرَاسِيِّ أَنَّ الْفِرَاسِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَسْأَلُ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَا، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ سَائِلًا لَا بُدَّ فَاسْأَلِ الصَّالِحِينَ
It is narrated from Ibn Frasi that Sayyiduna Frasi (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "May I ask (for something)?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, and if there is no way except to ask, then ask from the righteous people."
