nasai-kubra:8365Muḥammad b. al-Muthanná > Abū Muʿāwiyah > al-Aʿmash > ʿAmr b. Murrah > Abū al-Bakhtarī > ʿAlī

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to Yemen to settle disputes among them, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have no knowledge of how to settle disputes." He struck his hand on my chest and said, "O Allah, guide his heart and make his tongue steadfast." So, I did not doubt in settling a dispute between two people until I sat in this gathering. Abu 'Abdul Rahman narrated this Hadith from Shu'bah, who narrated it from 'Amr bin Murrah, who narrated it from Abu Al-Bakhtari. He said, "A person who heard 'Ali told me." Abu 'Abdul Rahman said, "Abu Al-Bakhtari did not hear anything from 'Ali."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٣٦٥أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ لِأَقْضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا عِلْمَ لِي بِالْقَضَاءِ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى صَدْرِي وَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ اهْدِ قَلْبَهُ وَسَدِّدْ لِسَانَهُ» فَمَا شَكَكْتُ فِي قَضَاءٍ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ مَجْلِسِي هَذَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو الْبَخْتَرِيِّ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ شَيْئًا

"عَنْ على قال: بعثنى رسول الله ﷺ إلى أهل اليمن لأقضى بينهم. فقلت: يا رسول الله! بعثتنى وأنا شاب وإنى لا علم لى بالقضاء، فضرب بيده على صدرى فقال: اللهم اهد قلبه، وسدد لسانه. فما شككت في قضاء بين اثنين حتى جلست مجلسى هذا".
