Text and translation

English translation

3582. It was narrated that 'All said: "The Messenger of Allah kk sent me to Yemen as a judge. I said: '0 Messenger of Allah, you are sending me, but I am young, and have no knowledge of the role of a judge.' He said: 'Allah will guide your heart and make your tongue steadfast (in speaking the truth). When two disputants sit before you, do not pass judgment until you have listened to the second one as you listened to the first one, for it is better for you to have a clear idea of the case." He said: "I continued to judge between people, or I did not doubt any judgment, after that." (Da'J)

3582 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام، قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قَاضِيًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُرْسِلُنِي وَأَنَا حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ، وَلَا عِلْمَ لِي بِالْقَضَاءِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيَهْدِي قَلْبَكَ، وَيُثَبِّتُ لِسَانَكَ، فَإِذَا جَلَسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ الْخَصْمَانِ، فَلَا تَقْضِيَنَّ حَتَّى تَسْمَعَ مِنَ الْآخَرِ، كَمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِ، فَإِنَّهُ أَحْرَى أَنْ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ الْقَضَاءُ»، قَالَ: «فَمَا زِلْتُ قَاضِيًا، أَوْ مَا شَكَكْتُ فِي قَضَاءٍ بَعْدُ»
