[AI] Abu Barzah al-Aslami used to judge between the Jews in their disputes that they brought to him. Then some Muslims sought his judgment, so Allah revealed, "Have you not seen those who claim to believe in what was revealed to you and what was revealed before you? They wish to turn to the taghut [false judge] for judgment, while they were commanded to disbelieve in it" until His saying, "But if you should strive for Allah, He is your best for striving" (Surah An-Nisa, verse 60).
كَانَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ كَاهِنًا يَقْضِي بَيْنَ الْيَهُودِ فِيمَا يَتَنَافَرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فتنافرَ إِلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَحاكَمُوا إِلَى الطاغوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا أَنْ يَكْفُرُوا بِهِ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {إِنْ أَرَدْنَا إِلَّا إِحْسَانًا}
