It was narrated from 'Abdul-Malik bin 'Umair that he heard 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Abu Bakrah (narrate) from his father that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Let the judge (Qâdî) not pass a judgment when he is angry."

2316 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَا يَقْضِي الْقَاضِي بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ» ، قَالَ هِشَامٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْحَاكِمِ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ

The intellectual faculty of a person does not remain stable in a state of anger; and due to sentimental factors, the reflection upon all aspects of the matter becomes almost impossible. So it is a risk, that the decision given in the state of anger may be incorrect.
