(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ
بِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : أَرَادَ الْحَجَّاجُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ ابْنَهُ عَلَى قَضَاءِ الْبَصْرَةِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ طَلَبَ الْقَضَاءَ وَاسْتَعَانَ عَلَيْهِ ، وُكِلَ إِلَيْهِ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَطْلُبْهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَعِنْ عَلَيْهِ ، أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مَلَكًا يُسَدِّدُهُ " .
Bilal bin Abi Musa says that once Hajjaj wanted to appoint his son as the judge of Basra, so Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever seeks the position of judge is handed over to it, and whoever is given the position of judge forcibly, an angel descends upon him who keeps him on the straight path.
