حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى عَنْ بِلاَلٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ
مَنْ طَلَبَ الْقَضَاءَ وَاسْتَعَانَ عَلَيْهِ وُكِلَ إِلَيْهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَطْلُبْهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَعِنْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مَلَكًا يُسَدِّدُهُ

The Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ. Abu 'Awanah said: from 'Abd al-A'la, from Bilal bin Mirdas al-Fazari, from Khaithamah al-Basri from Anas.

حسن غريب

in سنن أبي داود, p. 3576 - Dāraquṭnī
يرويه عبد الأعلى بن عامر التغلبي واختلف عنه فرواه أبو عوانة عن عبد الأعلى عن بلال بن مرداس عن خيثمة عن أنس وخالفه إسرائيل فرواه عن عبد الأعلى عن بلال بن أبي موسى عن أنس ولم يذكر خيثمة ويشبه أن يكون القول قول أبي عوانة
machine translationIt is narrated by ʿAbd al-Aʿlā b. ʿĀmir al-Taghlibī, and there is disagreement concerning him. Abū ʿAwānah narrated it from ʿAbd al-Aʿlā, from Bilāl b. Mirdās, from Khaythamah, from Anas. Isrāʾīl contradicted him and narrated it from ʿAbd al-Aʿlā, from Bilāl b. Abī Mūsā, from Anas, and did not mention Khaythamah. It seems that the correct view is that of Abū ʿAwānah.
