Book of the Judgments of the Messenger of Allah (SAW)

كتاب أقضية رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

Hadith 20:57

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, from Abu al-Bakhtari, from 'Ali, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sent me to the people of Yemen to judge between them. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have no knowledge of judging." He struck my chest with his hand and said: "O Allah, guide his heart and make his tongue firm." He said: So I have never doubted in a judgment between two people since I sat in this position of mine.

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن عمرو بن مرة عن أبي البختري عن علي قال بعثني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى أهل اليمن لأقضي بينهم قلت يا رسول الله إني لا علم لي بالقضاء فضرب بيده على صدري وقال اللهم اهد قلبه واسدد لسانه قال فما شككت في قضاء بين اثنين حتى جلست مجلسي هذا
