English narration

Narrated by عوف بن مالك الأشجعي

Narrated Awf ibn Malik: The Holy Prophet ﷺ gave a decision between two men, and the one against whom the decision was given turned away and said: For me Allah sufficeth, and He is the best dispenser of affairs. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: Allah, Most High, blames for falling short, but apply intelligence, and when the matter gets the better of you, say; For me Allah sufficeth, and He is the best disposer of affairs.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الرَّقِّيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، عَنْ بَحِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ ، عَنْ سَيْفٍ ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، "

قَضَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ الْمَقْضِيُّ عليْهِ لَمَّا أَدْبَرَ : حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَلُومُ عَلَى الْعَجْزِ ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكَ بِالْكَيْسِ ، فَإِذَا غَلَبَكَ أَمْرٌ ، فَقُلْ : حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
