65. Etiquettes of Judements
٦٥۔ كِتَابُ آدَابِ الْقَاضِي
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "The judge should not decide except when he is satiated with food. This hadith is solely attributed to Al-Qasim Al-Umari, who is weak, and the authentic hadith on this matter comes before it, carrying its meaning."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَقْضِي الْقَاضِي إِلَّا هُوَ شَبْعَانُ رَيَّانُ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْقَاسِمُ الْعُمَرِيُّ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ وَالْحَدِيثُ الصَّحِيحُ فِي الْبَابِ قَبْلَهُ يُؤَدِّي مَعْنَاهُ
[Machine] Then beware of boredom, anxiety, harming people, and pretending with enemies in places of truth that Allah obligates reward and earns wealth. Indeed, whoever corrects his relationship with his Lord, Allah will correct his relationship with people. And whoever adorns himself for people with what Allah knows of him contrary to that, Allah will disgrace him. So what do you think of the reward of someone other than Allah in this temporary world and the treasures of His mercy? And peace be upon you.
ثُمَّ إِيَّاكَ وَالضَّجَرَ وَالْقَلَقَ وَالتَّأَذِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ وَالتَّنَكُّرَ بِالْخُصُومِ فِي مَوَاطِنِ الْحَقِّ الَّتِي يُوجِبُ اللهُ تَعَالَى بِهَا الْأَجْرَ وَيُكْسِبُ بِهَا الذُّخْرَ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يُصْلِحْ سَرِيرَتَهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّهِ أَصْلَحَ اللهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَمَنْ تَزَيَّنَ لِلنَّاسِ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ اللهُ مِنْهُ خِلَافَ ذَلِكَ يُشِنْهُ اللهُ فَمَا ظَنُّكَ بِثَوَابِ غَيْرِ اللهِ فِي عَاجِلِ الدُّنْيَا وَخَزَائِنِ رَحْمَتِهِ؟ وَالسَّلَامُ
[Machine] When he used to get angry or hungry, he would stand up and not settle any differences with anyone.
أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا غَضِبَ أَوْ جَاعَ قَامَ فَلَمْ يَقْضِ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ
[Machine] Ibn Abi Layla used to only sit for judgement when a dish was brought to him, and he would eat from it. Then a large loaf of bread would be brought to him, and he would wrap himself in it. And when it was a women's day, a man would sit with him.
كَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى لَا يَقْعُدُ لِلْقَضَاءِ إِلَّا يُؤْتَى بِقَصْعَةٍ فَيَأْكُلُ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِغَالِيَةٍ فَيَتَغَلَّفُ وَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ النِّسَاءِ أَجْلَسَ مَعَهُ رَجُلًا
