Hadith 17:962
Waki’ narrated to us, from al-A’mash, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu al-Ahwas, who said: Abdullah said: When one of you seeks a need, let him seek it with an easy request. And let him not come to a man and praise him to his face, for he would break his back, and he would not withhold anything from him.
حدثنا وكيع عن الأعمش عن أبي إسحاق عن أبي الأحوص قال قال عبد الله إذا ( ( ( هل ) ) ) طلب ( ( ( ذكر ) ) ) أحدكم الحاجة فليطلبها طلبا يسيرا ولا يأتي الرجل فيثني عليه في وجهه فيقطع ظهره فلا يمنعه شيئا
