(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، تَبْعَثُنِي إِلَى قَوْمٍ أَسَنَّ مِنِّي ، وَأَنَا حَدِثٌ لَا أُبْصِرُ الْقَضَاءَ ؟ قَالَ : فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِي ، وَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْ لِسَانَهُ ، وَاهْدِ قَلْبَهُ ، يَا عَلِيُّ ، إِذَا جَلَسَ إِلَيْكَ الْخَصْمَانِ فَلَا تَقْضِ بَيْنَهُمَا حَتَّى تَسْمَعَ مِنَ الْآخَرِ كَمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِ ، فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ تَبَيَّنَ لَكَ الْقَضَاءُ " ، قَالَ : فَمَا اخْتَلَفَ عَلَيَّ قَضَاءٌ بَعْدُ ، أَوْ مَا أَشْكَلَ عَلَيَّ قَضَاءٌ بَعْدُ .
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to send me to Yemen, so I said: O Messenger of Allah! You are sending me to a people who are older than me, and I am young in age; I cannot judge properly. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on my chest and prayed: «اَللّٰهُمَّ ثَبِّتْ لِسَانَهُ وَاهْدِ قَلْبَهُ» "O Allah! Make his tongue firm and guide his heart." O Ali! When two parties come to you, do not judge by listening to only one of them, but listen to both sides; in this way, it will be easier for you to judge." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after that, I never faced any difficulty in making a judgment.
