(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ
زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ
سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ
حَنَشٍ ، عَنْ
عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا تَقَاضَى إِلَيْكَ رَجُلَانِ ، فَلَا تَقْضِ لِلْأَوَّلِ حَتَّى تَسْمَعَ مَا يَقُولُ الْآخَرُ ، فَسَوُفَ تَرَى كَيْفَ تَقْضِي " ، قَالَ : فَمَا زِلْتُ بَعْدُ قَاضِيًا .
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "When two parties come to you, do not judge by listening to only one of them, rather listen to both of them. You will see how you judge." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after this, I continuously remained in the position of judge.
