CHAPTER: Regarding Seeking The Position Of Judge and Hastening To Accept That Position.
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.
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone desires the office of Judge and seeks help for it, he will be left to his own devices; if anyone does not desire it, nor does he seek help for it, Allah will send down an angel who will direct him aright. Waki said: (This tradition has also been transmitted) by Isra'il, from Abd al-A'la, from Bilal bin Abi Musa, from Anas, from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Abu 'Awanah said: from Abd al-A'la, from Bilal bin Mirdas al-Fazari, from Khaithamah al-Basri from Anas.
Abu Buradah reported the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: We will never employ or we shall not employ (the narrator is doubtful) in our work one who wants it.
