2588. It was narrated from Ibn Al-Firâsî that Al-Firâsî said to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ: “Shall I ask people (for help), O Messenger of Allâh?" He said: "No, but if you have no alternative but to ask, then ask the righteous." (Da'if)

Arabic text

2587 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ مَخْشِيٍّ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْفِرَاسِيِّ، أَنَّ الْفِرَاسِيَّ، قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَسْأَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «لَا وَإِنْ كُنْتَ سَائِلًا، لَا بُدَّ فَاسْأَلِ الصَّالِحِينَ»
