حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَا : أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ رَجَاءٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ الْأَزْرَقِ ، قَالَ : " دَخَلَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ كِنْدَةَ ، وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ جَالِسٌ فِي حَلْقَةٍ ، فَقَالَا : أَلَا رَجُلٌ يُنَفِّذُ بَيْنَنَا ؟ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْحَلْقَةِ : أَنَا ، فَأَخَذَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصًى فَرَمَاهُ بِهِ ، وَقَالَ : مَهْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُكْرَهُ التَّسَرُّعُ إِلَى الْحُكْمِ " .

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: This narration is weak in its chain of transmission.
However, its meaning is correct, that is, haste is disliked.
Furthermore, whether a judge appointed by the government sits on the seat of judgment to decide major matters, or someone happens to make a decision by coincidence,
the ruling is the same for both.
It is obligatory upon a person
that even within his own home, between his wife and children, he should act with truth and justice.
