٦٥۔ كِتَابُ آدَابِ الْقَاضِي
[Machine] Narrated by Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, and caution should be taken from similar ones, it is a followed Sunnah.
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ مَرْفُوعًا وَالْحَذَرُ مِنْ أَمْثَالِهِ سُنَّةٌ متَّبَعَةٌ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me. He intended to send me with some goods to AbuSufyan to distribute among the Quraysh at Mecca after the conquest. He said: Search for a companion. Then Amr ibn Umayyah ad-Damri came to me and said: I have been told that you are intending to make a journey and are seeking a companion. I said: Yes. He said: I am your companion. I then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I have found a companion. He asked: Who is he? I replied: Amr ibn Umayyah ad-Damri. He said: When you come down to the territory of his people, be careful of him, for a maxim says: If one is your real brother, do not feel safe with him. So we proceeded, and when I reached al-Abwa', he said to me: I have some work with my people at Waddan, so stay here till I come back. I said: Do not lose your way. When he turned his back, I recalled the words of the Prophet ﷺ. So I rode my camel and galloped without stopping. When I reached al-Asafir, he was pursuing me with a group of men. So I galloped and forged ahead of him. When he saw me that I had outstripped him, they returned and he came to me. He said to me: I had some work with my people. I said: Yes. We then went on until we reached Mecca, and I gave the goods to AbuSufyan. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4861)
دَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنِي بِمَالٍ إِلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ يَقْسِمُهُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ بِمَكَّةَ بَعْدَ الْفَتْحِ فَقَالَ الْتَمِسْ صَاحِبًا قَالَ فَجَاءَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ فَقَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ وَتَلْتَمِسُ صَاحِبًا قَالَ قُلْتُ أَجَلْ قَالَ فَأَنَا لَكَ صَاحِبٌ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ وَجَدْتُ صَاحِبًا قَالَ فَقَالَ لِيَ مَنْ؟ فَقُلْتُ عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ قَالَ إِذَا هَبَطْتَ بِلَادَ قَوْمِهِ فَاحْذَرْهُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ قَالَ الْقَائِلُ أَخُوكَ الْبَكْرِيُّ فَلَا تَأْمَنْهُ قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ قَالَ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ حَاجَةً إِلَى قَوْمِي بِوَدَّانَ فَتَلَبَّثْ لِي قُلْتُ رَاشِدًا فَلَمَّا وَلَّى ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَى بَعِيرِي حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ أُوضِعُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ بِالْأَصَافِرِ إِذَا هُوَ يُعَارِضُنِي فِي رَهْطٍ قَالَ وَأَوْضَعْتُ فَسَبَقْتُهُ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي أَنْ قَدْ فُتُّهُ انْصَرَفُوا وَجَاءَنِي فَقَالَ كَانَتْ لِي إِلَى قَوْمِي حَاجَةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَجَلْ وَمَضَيْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ فَدَفَعْتُ الْمَالَ إِلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "A believer is not stung twice from the same hole."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يُلْدَغُ مُؤْمِنٌ مِنْ جُحْرٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ
[Machine] He hated testifying about the will in a sealed envelope until he knew what was in it. Abu al-Hussein told us that Abdullah bin Ja'far narrated to us from Ya'qub, who narrated to us from Sulaiman bin Harb, who narrated to us from Hammad bin Zaid, from Ayyub, that Abu Qilabah disliked testifying about the sealed document. He said, "Perhaps there is injustice in it."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ شَهَادَةَ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى الْوَصِيَّةِ فِي صَحِيفَةٍ مَخْتُومَةٍ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ مَا فِيهَا وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ أَنَّ أَبَا قِلَابَةَ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَى الصَّحِيفَةِ الْمَخْتُومَةِ قَالَ لَعَلَّ فِيهَا جَوْرًا
[Machine] "It is not permissible until it is read or recited to him, and he affirms what is in it." He said, and he narrated to us Ya'qub, who narrated to me Abdul Aziz ibn Imran, who narrated to me Muhammad ibn Yusuf, who said Sufyan was asked about a man who wrote his will and sealed it and said, 'Witness what is in it.' He said, Ibn Abi Layla considered it invalid. Sufyan said, 'And the judges do not authorize it for him.'"
لَا يَجُوزُ حَتَّى يَقْرَأَهَا أَوْ تُقْرَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُقِرَّ بِمَا فِيهَا قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ سُئِلَ سُفْيَانُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَتَبَ وَصِيَّتَهُ فَخَتَمَ عَلَيْهَا وَقَالَ اشْهَدُوا بِمَا فِيهَا قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى يُبْطِلُهَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَالْقُضَاةُ لَا يُجِيزُونَهَا لَهُ
