Bayhaqi 20229 — The dislike of leadership, and the dislike of taking

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دَرَسْتَوَيْهِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، قَالَ: " كَانَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ رَجُلًا يَصُومُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا وَسِلْقًا، فَقَالَ ⦗١٦٧⦘ لَهُ: " تَعَالَ فَكُلْ "، قَالَ: فَسَأَلَهُ الرَّجُلُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، قَالَ: " مَا لَكَ ظَنَنْتَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْقَضَاءِ " فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعِيدٌ: أَرَاكَ أَحْمَقَ، اذْهَبْ إِلَى الْقَاضِي الَّذِي أُجْلِسَ لِهَذَا، أَتُرَانِي أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَشْغَلُ نَفْسِي بِهَذَا؟ " أَوْ قَالَ: " بِكَ ".
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) used to fast. A man came to him while he was eating bread and chard, and he said: Come and eat. He said: The man asked him about something; I think he asked about some matter of judgeship. So Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Fool! Go to the judge who has been seated for this work. Should I occupy myself with this work, or with you as well?
