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 Abdul-A'la, from Bilal bin Mirdas al-Fazari, from Khaithamah al-Basri from Anas.
