Musnad Abi Ya'la 316 — when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to send
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْبَخْتَرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا ، يَقُولُ : لَمَّا بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ ، فَقُلْتُ : تَبْعَثُنِي وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ ، وَلَيْسَ لِي عِلْمٌ بِكَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ ؟ قَالَ : فَضَرَبَ صَدْرِي ، وَقَالَ : اذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُثَبِّتُ لِسَانَكَ ، وَيَهْدِي قَلْبَكَ ، قَالَ : فَمَا أَعْيَانِي قَضَاءٌ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to send him to Yemen, he said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you are sending me as a judge while I am a young man, and I do not have much knowledge of judging and giving verdicts?" Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) struck my chest with his blessed hand and said: "Go, for Allah will surely keep your tongue firm (upon the truth) and guide your heart (to the right judgement)." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "After that (supplication), I never faced any difficulty or confusion in judging between two people." (In the chain of this report there is an unnamed narrator between Abu al-Bakhtari (may Allah have mercy on him) and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who heard this account directly from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).)
