Hadith #45155
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْكَ خَصْمَانِ فَلَا تَسْمَعْ كَلَامَ الْأَوَّلِ حَتَّى تَسْمَعَ كَلَامَ الْآخَرِ فَسَوْفَ تَرَى كَيْفَ تَقْضِي قَالَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَمَا زِلْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَاضِيًا.
Hussein bin Ali told us, on the authority of Zaida, on the authority of Simak, on the authority of Hanash, on the authority of Ali, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to me: Two opponents come to you, so do not listen to the words of the first until you hear the words of the other. Then you will see how you judge. He said, and Ali, may God be pleased with him, said. By God, I was still a judge after that.
