It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Hajjaj wanted to appoint his son as the judge of Basra, he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever seeks the office of judge and tries to obtain it with the help of others, he will be entrusted with that office; and the person who neither seeks it nor takes the help of others to obtain it, Allah Almighty will send an angel for him who will guide him towards correctness.
