Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 371 — he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me
حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ إِلَى قَوْمٍ ذَوِي أَسْنَانٍ وَأَنَا حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ ، فَقَالَ : إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْخَصْمَانِ فَلَا تَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَحَدِهِمَا حَتَّى تَسْمَعَ مِنَ الْآخَرِ ، فَإِنَّهُ سَيُبِيرُ لَكَ الْقَضَاءَ ، قَالَ : فَتَعَلَّمْتُ فَمَا زِلْتُ قَاضِيًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me (as a judge) to a people who were elderly, while I was young. He (peace and blessings be upon him) advised me: "When two disputing parties come to you with a case, do not listen to one of them until you have also listened to the other, for in this way the judgement will become clear to you." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then I learned this method, and after that I always remained a judge (who judged according to the truth)."
