[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "When a judge makes a ruling and strives to reach the correct decision, then if he is successful, he will receive two rewards. But if he strives and makes a mistake, he will receive one reward." Ibn al-Hadd reported to me that he narrated from Abu Bakr ibn Amr ibn Hazm, who said, "This is what Abu Salamah narrated to me from Abu Hurayrah." Isaac said, "I did not understand 'Amr ibn al-'Asi, who is 'Abd al-Aziz 5888." Ishaaq ibn Ibrahim reported to us that al-Muqri' said, "Haywah ibn Shurayh narrated to us from Yazid ibn al-Hadd." Both narrations are of equal strength in their chains of narration.

“When the judge passes a judgement and does his best and gets it right, he will have two rewards, and if he passes a judgement and does his best and gets it wrong, he will have one reward.” (Sahih) Yazid (one of narrators) said : “So I Narrated it to Abu Bakr bin 'Amr bin Hazm.
