وَعَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
" الْقُضَاةُ ثَلَاثَةٌ: وَاحِدٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَاثْنَانِ فِي النَّارِ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَرَجُلٌ عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ فَقَضَى بِهِ وَرَجُلٌ عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ فَجَارَ فِي الْحُكْمِ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ وَرَجُلٌ قَضَى لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى جَهْلٍ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ ". رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ
On the authority of Buraydah, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “The judges are three: one in Paradise and two in Hell. As for the one in Paradise, A man who knew the truth and judged according to it, and a man who knew the truth and was unfair in ruling, then he will be in Hell, and a man who judged for people out of ignorance, he will be in Hell. In Hell.” Narrated by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah.
