‘Auf b. Malik told that the Prophet (ﷺ) gave a decision between two men and that when the one against whom the decision had been given turned away he said, “My sufficiency is Allah, and good is the Guardian." Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah most high blames for falling short, hut apply intelligence, and when a matter gets the better of you say, 'My sufficiency is Allah, and good is the Guardian’. (Al-Qur’an, 3
173) Abu Dawud transmitted it.وَعَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَقَالَ الْمَقْضِيُّ عَلَيْهِ لَمَّا أَدْبَرَ: حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَلُومُ عَلَى الْعَجْزِ وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكَ بِالْكَيْسِ فَإِذَا غَلَبَكَ أَمْرٌ فَقُلْ: حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ ونِعْمَ الوكيلُ ". رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
