Hadith 31055
٣١٠٥٥ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن عمرو بن مرة عن أبي البَخْتَرِي عن علي قال: بعثني النبي ﷺ إلى أهل اليمن لأقضي بينهم، قلت: يا رسول اللَّه (إنه) (١) لا علم لي بالقضاء، فضرب بيده على صدري وقال: "اللهم اهد قلبه واسدد لسانه" قال: فما شككت في قضاء بين اثنين حتى جلست مجلسي هذا (٢).
Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to the people of Yemen as a judge so that I may decide among them. I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I do not have any knowledge regarding making decisions. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on my chest and said: O Allah, grant guidance to his heart and make his tongue straight. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that since I have sat in that place, I have never had any doubt in making a decision between two people.
