2310. It was narrated that 'Ali said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent me to Yemen. I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, you are sending me to judge between them while I am a young man, and I do not know how to judge.' He struck me on the chest with his hand and said: 'O Allāh, guide his heart and make his tongue steadfast.' And after that I never doubted in passing judgment between two people." (Da'if)
2310 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَبْعَثُنِي وَأَنَا شَابٌّ أَقْضِي بَيْنَهُمْ، وَلَا أَدْرِي مَا الْقَضَاءُ؟ قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ فِي صَدْرِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ قَلْبَهُ، وَثَبِّتْ لِسَانَهُ» ، قَالَ: فَمَا شَكَكْتُ بَعْدُ فِي قَضَاءٍ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ
