[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever is appointed to make a judgment, it is as if he was slaughtered with a knife." Abu Abdur Rahman Uthman ibn Muhammad al-Akhnasi said, "He is not strong in that sense, but we mentioned it so that Uthman does not leave the group and makes ibn Abi Dhi'b replace Sa'id."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَى الْقَضَاءِ فَكَأَنَّمَا ذُبِحَ بِالسِّكِّينِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَخْنَسِيُّ لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ الْقَوِيِّ وَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرْنَا لِئَلَّا يَخْرُجَ عُثْمَانُ مِنَ الْوَسَطِ وَيَجْعَلَ ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ
