English translation

3573. It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Judges are of three types, one who will be in Paradise and two who will be in the Fire. As for the one who will be in Paradise, it is a man who knows the truth and judges accordingly. And a man who knows the truth, but is unjust in his judgment, he will be in the Fire, and a man who judges the people when he is ignorant will be in the Fire." (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: This is the most correct thing concerning this, meaning the Hadīth of Ibn Buraidah: "Judges are of three types."

3573 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ السَّمْتِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الْقُضَاةُ ثَلَاثَةٌ: وَاحِدٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَاثْنَانِ فِي النَّارِ، فَأَمَّا الَّذِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَرَجُلٌ عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ فَقَضَى بِهِ، وَرَجُلٌ عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ فَجَارَ فِي الْحُكْمِ، فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ، وَرَجُلٌ قَضَى لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى جَهْلٍ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ "، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ شَيْءٍ فِيهِ يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ الْقُضَاةُ ثَلَاثَةٌ
