وحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ فِيهِمْ بِحُكْمِ اللَّهِ " وَقَالَ مَرَّةً : " لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ بِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ " .
Through the same chain of transmitters Shu'bah has narrated the same tradition in which he says that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said (to Sa'd): You have adjudged according to the command of God. And once he said: you have adjudged by the decision of a king.
