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)

Arabic text

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

Commentary

If an individual feels that he/she does not have the ability to discharge these obligations which are being assigned to him/her, then the person has the right to refuse the acceptance of the post. It will not be regarded as disobedience, to tell about one's weakness or difficulties, to one's elderly peer or to a person in charge.
