Two men from the locality of Kindah came while AbuMas'ud al-Ansari was sitting n a circle. They said: Is there any man who decides between us. A man from the circle said: I, AbuMas'ud took a handful of pebbles and threw at him, saying: Hush! It is disapproved to make haste in decision. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3577)
دَخَلَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ أَبْوَابِ كِنْدَةَ وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ جَالِسٌ فِي حَلْقَةٍ فَقَالَ أَلَا رَجُلٌ يَنْفُذُ بَيْنَنَا؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْحَلْقَةِ أَنَا قَالَ فَأَخَذَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصًى فَرَمَاهُ بِهِ وَقَالَ مَهْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُكْرَهُ التَّسَرُّعُ إِلَى الْحُكْمِ
