Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 23328 — A man who cites the judge or governor
٢٣٣٢٨ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا إسماعيل بن عياش عن سفيان (عن) (١) عمرو بن إبراهيم الأنصاري عن عمه الضحاك قال: اختصم رجلان إلى عمر بن الخطاب ادعيا (شهادته) (٢) فقال لهما عمر: إن شئتما شهدت ولم أقض (بينكما) (٣) وإن شئتما قضيت ولم أشهد (٤).
It is narrated from al-Dahhak that two men took their dispute to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and both of them asked him for his testimony. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to them: If you wish, I will testify, but then I will not judge; and if you wish me to judge, then I will not testify.
