It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Do you not know that when two disputing parties brought a case to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and fixed a time, and then one of them came and the other did not, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would judge in favour of the one who came and against the one who did not come?" Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "That was only in matters of a riding animal, a goat and a camel, whereas the matter we are in is the (weighty) affair of the people."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Sa'id bin Abi Burdah except Khalid bin Nafi'."
