حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَهْلِ بْنُ زِيَادُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، نَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، نَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي الْفَرَجُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الدِّمَشْقِيِّ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ خَصْمَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَخْتَصِمَانِ ، فَقَالَ لِي : " قُمْ يَا عُقْبَةُ اقْضِ بَيْنَهُمَا ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنْتَ أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ مِنِّي ، قَالَ : وَإِنْ كَانَ اقْضِ بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنِ اجْتَهَدْتَ فَأَصَبْتَ فَلَكَ عَشَرَةُ أُجُورٍ ، وَإِنِ اجْتَهَدْتَ فَأَخْطَأْتَ فَلَكَ أَجْرٌ وَاحِدٌ " .
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that two men brought their case to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Uqbah! Stand up and judge between them." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! You are more deserving of this." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you judge between them and strive to reach a decision and are correct, you will have ten rewards. And if you strive and make a mistake, you will have one reward."
