5423. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Abī Bakrah, who was a governor in Sijistan, said: "Abū Bakrah wrote to me, saying: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: No one should pass two judgments on one issue, and no one should pass judgment between two disputing parties while he is angry.'"

Arabic text

5421 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، وَكَانَ عَامِلًا عَلَى سِجِسْتَانَ قَالَ: كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا يَقْضِيَنَّ أَحَدٌ فِي قَضَاءٍ بِقَضَاءَيْنِ، وَلَا يَقْضِي أَحَدٌ بَيْنَ خَصْمَيْنِ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ»

Commentary

Passing conflicting verdicts in a single given lawsuit or in two identical lawsuits ruins the credibility of the judge. Besides, this gives rise to more disputes among people, while the main objective of returning verdicts is to end disputes and quarrels.
