من قال: لا يقبل من خصم حتى يحضر خصمه
Those who said a litigant is not heard until his opponent is present
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 24678 — Those who said a litigant is not
٢٤٦٧٨ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا حسين بن علي عن (زائدة) (١) عن سماك عن حنش عن علي قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "إذا تقاضى إليك رجلان فلا تسمع ما يقول الأول، حتى تسمع ما يقول الآخر، فإنك سوف ترى كيف تقضي"، قال علي: فما زلت بعدها قاضيا (٢).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When two people come to you for judgment, do not judge after hearing the first until you have heard the other. You will soon see how judgment is to be given." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "After that I always continued to judge in this way."
