Bayhaqi 20464 — Treating both litigants equally in admitting

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُصَيْفِيرٍ إِلَى شُرَيْحٍ يُخَاصِمُ رَجُلًا، فَجَلَسَ مَعَهُ عَلَى الطِّنْفِسَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: " قُمْ، فَاجْلِسْ مَعَ خَصْمِكَ، فَإِنَّ مَجْلِسَكَ يُرِيبُهُ "، فَغَضِبَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُصَيْفِيرٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ شُرَيْحٌ: " قُمْ فَاجْلِسْ مَعَ خَصْمِكَ إِنِّي لَا أَدَعُ النُّصْرَةَ وَأَنَا عَلَيْهَا لَقَادِرٌ ".
Tamim bin Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Ibn Abi Usayfir (may Allah have mercy on him) came to Judge Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) with a dispute (against a man), and he sat with him on the mat. He said: "Get up and sit with your opponent, for your sitting here casts suspicion." Ibn Abi Usayfir (may Allah have mercy on him) became angry, so Judge Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Get up and sit with your opponent; I will not abandon giving support (to the right) while I am able to do so."
