English Translation

Haywah b. Shurayh and Ibrahim b. Abi al-Abbas told us, they said: Baqiyyah told us, saying: Bahir b. Sa'd told me, from Khalid b. Ma'dan, from Sayf, from Awf b. Malik, who told them that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) judged between two men, and the one against whom judgment was given said as he turned away, "Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best guardian." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Bring the man back to me." He said, "What did you say?" He said, "I said, 'Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best guardian.'" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Indeed Allah reproaches for helplessness, but you must be resourceful; and when a matter overwhelms you, then say, 'Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best guardian.'"
