Chapter: If People Appoint a Man as Judge, and He Passes Judgment Among Them
Hadith 5389
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ , عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ هَانِئٍ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , سَمِعَهُ وَهُمْ يَكْنُونَ هَانِئًا أَبَا الْحَكَمِ ، فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالَ لَهُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَكَمُ ، وَإِلَيْهِ الْحُكْمُ ، فَلِمَ تُكَنَّى أَبَا الْحَكَمِ ؟ " ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ قَوْمِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ أَتَوْنِي فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَضِيَ كِلَا الْفَرِيقَيْنِ ، قَالَ : " مَا أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا , فَمَا لَكَ مِنَ الْوُلْدِ ؟ " , قَالَ لِي : شُرَيْحٌ , وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، وَمُسْلِمٌ ، قَالَ : " فَمَنْ أَكْبَرُهُمْ ؟ " قَالَ : شُرَيْحٌ ، قَالَ : " فَأَنْتَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ " , فَدَعَا لَهُ وَلِوَلَدِهِ .
´It was narrated from Shuraih bin Hani' from his father, that:` When he came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he heard them calling Hani' by the nickname of Abu Al-Hakam, the Messenger of Allah [SAW] called him and said to him: "Allah is Al-Hakam (the Judge) and judgment is His. Why are you known as Abu Al-Hakam?" He said: "If my people differ concerning something, they come to me, and I pass judgment among them, and both sides accept it." He said: "How good this is. Do you have any children?" He said: "I have Shuraih, and 'Abdullah, and Muslim." He said: "Who is the eldest of them?" He said: "Shuraih." He said: "Then you are Abu Shuraih," and he supplicated for him and his son.
